What to eat when SICK??

Lmaass1

Hey everyone! I have been sick the past week, and my diet has not been so good. All I've been eating is carbs. White bread, mashed potatoes, soup full of sodium, etc! My stomach is upside down, so I'm scared to eat dairy or vegetables.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to eat semi-healthy when your stomach is upset??? Any help is greatly appreciated !!

My suggestion would be to eat whatever your stomach can tolerate and I would disregard your calorie goals until you are feeling better. EDIT: In other words, I'd not worry to much about "eating healthy" and instead just worry about "what wont make me puke".

Whenever I was ill, the things I most tolerated were soups, bananas and eggs on toast.

^^This! Chances are you aren't eating much anyway if you're sick, so you're probably still staying under calories. Just make sure to keep your fluids up and get plenty of rest.

Ginger ale, soup, and rainbow sherbet!

When I am sick I really don't care about healthy eating. I want what makes me feel better while being sick.
