Agreed with the above, but to answer your question if you have the real flu (high fever for >1 week, severe muscle aches, difficulty getting out of bed), your best bet is to drink a lot of fluids and eat nutritious foods when you can, including high protein options. The real flu doesn't usually cause gastrointestinal symptoms so you should be able to do this ok. You'll likely lose some lean body mass but you should be able to get back to where you were in a couple of weeks.
