is your diet different while you're sick?

[carlsuen]

just wondering if your diet is different while you're having a flu.. do you eat more carbs for energy? and what specific food do you add and take out while you're sick..

my goal is to cut down fat while retaining muscle.. and i heard about a myth saying you shouldn't eat chicken while you're sick?

When i have the flu i eat what I can keep down. plus i wrap up with all the clothes I can and drink a monster energy drink. It heats up my core temp so i can break my fever and feel normal again.

I eat whatever I want while I'm sick because if I feel like shit I feel like I should have good food. Lots of fluids though.

currently have the flu - I'm pretty much on eggs on dry toast and shed loads of water. Feel like crap.

You should eat whatever you want. You wont be so hungry to begin with, so enjoy whatever you want while your body recovers. That said, don't have an icream fest. Anything whole foods..

Good Question.. I couldn't really eat last time I had the flu. That coupled with crazy sweating and not enough fluids, I was down almost 10 lbs when I hit the gym again.
