Nutrition when sick

[tjhowley68]

Ok so starting to develop a cold/flu. My body does not want to intake more food. How do you keep from losing the weight gains you've made when you're sick?

I did read through some of the info, just trying to get a clear picture. It takes a lot of intake for me to be gaining weight. I get eating just above maintenance level will keep that but what about when your body is refusing. Fluids are an obvious and generally speaking i can get over sickness pretty quick. Just trying to collect information.

do what you can.....get over it asap. whey is your friend here - get in the protein you can and then whatever other calories you can -- Sleep, rest, and fluids
