I've been sick with some nasty virus (fever, chills, aches) since Tuesday and have had almost no appetite. Between Tuesday lunch and Thursday breakfast, all I had was a cup of soup. Anyway, today my fever is down and the aches are gone, but I still feel slightly off and still have no appetite. I'm making myself eat but it's hard, and nothing sounds good when I think about planning a meal.

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and talked to her on the phone yesterday, but I didn't think to ask her about this.

Anyone have any ideas of things that are good to eat when you have no appetite? Soup worked OK for a few days but I'm sick of it now. Right now I'm just picking the chicken out of some Chinese takeout, because that's the only part that tastes good to me.

Boost or Ensure nutritional drinks are a good way to get basic nutritional needs in when you dont have an appetite IMO.

If you're worried about loss of nutrients, you might want to try a health shake or drink of some kind, that's fortified. .
