Home made soups with chicken are also a must when sick, at least for me.

Just eat what you can and try to maintain calories. If you're nauseous and can't eat a lot, try toast with no butter and tea with (GASP) sugar in it. Best calories? No. Better than no calories at all? Yes. Sick time is the only time I put sugar in anything.

thank you very much for the feed back, my old lady went to the store and got me some low sodium tomatoe soup, so i dipped some ezekiel bread into. worked out pretty good.

I am in the middle of having bronchitis. I just kept my diet at 40g of complex carbs and kept protein reasonably high-since all I was doing was sleeping and wheezing. I dropped 6 lbs hopefully it is only water weight.
I am hioping thats all I will drop. I am still feverish and the coughing is still hurting my back and core...

Eat what you can, keep those kcals up even if it means eating crap food. Fluids are of utmost importance when sick. 2-3 liters/day. You can try extra Vit C (add another 500-1000mg + whatever you get normally).


Rest and fluids are key though.
