sick and puked does the food i ate count?

stinabear13

so i got a stomach flu from my 6 yr old, ate as usual despite feeling queasy, well 10 mins after i ate dinner i ran to the bathroom and was puking until it was all gone and dry heaving. i hate getting sick and puking is the worst.
but regardless,
did my dinner even count seeing as it came right back up 10 mins later? i doubt it broke down all the calories from it in that time. but should i just erase it from my diary? husband insisted i eat something else and try to hold it down to replace what came up. ive gotten kinda anal about my calorie goals and it irks me to not know just how many may have gotten broken down before food fame flying up again.

what???? you have the flu, go get some rest and drink some fluids. stop worrying about your calories for one dinner.

Confuzzled4ever

yea.. drink tea with honey.. and try a cracker if you must eat or broth..

eating does not help your body cure the flu..

Why is this your biggest concern?? How about getting some rest?

Um. Relax. You just puked and now is not the time to be worried about how to track those calories.

Here's an interesting write up on food digestion:

Considering how long you had the food down, i would think you didn't get any value from what you ate, sort of just rented it.

Depends on if you eat it again or not.
