Counting Calories when you are sick

Medilia

So I have been throwing up all morning. I am terribly sick and I really have no interest in eating.

Should I still try to hit my calorie goal on a day like today? How does it work if I am throwing up the food? Because logically if you throw it up you haven't processed all the calories.

I don't log when I'm sick. Just focus on getting well, eat what you can and get back to logging when you feel better.

If you're sick you get whatever calories into you that you can. Try some dry toast, ginger ale, decarbonated cola. I hope you feel better

Take a break if you're sick. Eat what you can and feel better.

If you're barfy, don't bother. I tend to still log my calories because I typically get *hungrier* when I'm sick unless it's a stomach thing so I could easily go over (by a lot) if I don't keep up with it. But yeah no if you're throwing up just get better.

I never log. I can normally get in at least 1200 calories alone in liquids. Between orange juice and 7up my "diet" is blown. I just worry about getting better.

I still log when I am sick, but make a note in the comment section that I vomited. Don't force yourself to eat though, just get plenty of rest and fluids.

You're going to lose a lot of water weight and then rebound it back when you get better. Assuming this goes on for a day or two, you're unlikely to see any permanent gain or loss, no matter what you eat.
