What to eat while sick..
Hi everyone - I had a quick question..
Ive been on a long cut and it WAS coming along nicely when I became sick.
I have a respiritory gunk in my lungs and I have had it for 5 days now. Ive stuck to my diet except one cheat meal on Sunday ...
And then it occured to me that maybe I should raise my calories to maintanence until Im well (maybe its not helping to eat low cal)? Ive been at 10-12 cal per lb..
Im 114. what do yall think?
PS: this is not an excuse to eat cheat meals, Im thinking keep it clean but just add more food? Im not training either.
If I do add would it be safe to add in the form of carbs. Im on lo carb for cutting.
Oh, and if Im not doing a whole lot, how much should I expect to 'gain'

I eat less when sick mostly because of a loss of appetite, of course it depends on the illness, if it's gastrointestinal I purposely try and eat very little.

chicken noodle soup!! Seriously though, I'd go for maintenance and not workout until I felt better.
Only time will tell if it was time well spent!
