For the past 3 days I've been home sick with strep. I've managed to eat some Total cereal w/ banana, a protein bar, and just had a protein shake, and coffee. Obviously I'm not getting enough calories, but I have no appetite and nothing sounds appealing at all.

Any ideas of nutrient-dense foods that are easy on a sore throat?

    fruit fruit fruit and more fruit.

    when you're sick, your body needs more vitamins than ever.

    Peanut butter is usually pretty palatable to me when I'm sick and ups your calories quickly. Maybe mix some into a smoothie with some fruit and protein powder?
    Take a multivitamin. Most importantly, make sure you stay hydrated.

    I always eat LOTS of egg drop soup. Homemade. Getting your calories from eggs, decent protein, and easy on the tummy. I usually don't eat much else.
