I have the flu... I have not yet eaten everything in my food log, as it is a pre-packed lunch. I did walk about an hour doing rounds (I work security). If I eat what I brought for lunch, I will still be nearly 800 calories below... I am without appetite. Besides the fact that I have the flu. Eat or not eat?

    Don't force yourself to eat. Just concentrate on your fluid intake for now. I hope you feel better soon, hon!

    Have some soup or porridge if you can. But you really need to rest and keep yourself hydrated like the other said. Hope you get well soon.

    I've got the bubons too. Gonna force myself to eat some soup, as I'm not really hungry.

    I was just curious, but did you get the flu shot? I did in Oct when they first came out............I think I did the right thing, I have only had 2 in my life time..........

    I did notice church was really empty this Sunday, as well as I saw on the news that lots of people are uptight about large gathering areas for folks, ie, movies etc...........

    Let me know how youre doing, the flu is rough, esp this season.........
