I have a serious lack of appetite, to the point where I could happily go days without eating (I haven't, the longest I've gone is 36hrs without eating, I know its not great, I don't need telling), does anyone have any tips on dealing with this/boosting my calorie intake without boosting my food intake, if possible?

    eat calorie dense foods e.g. full fat milk and yoghurt, nuts. force yourself to eat at regular meal times so your body gets used to it.

    I have never had this problem sadly. I am usually thinking about my next meal while eating the current one.

    However, i did know a girl once who said she sometimes forgets to eat. I licked her face in case it was contagious lol

    Just knowing thu that its not healthy for you i would suggest you try to eat or take a shake to keep some decent calories and nutrients in your body....have some fruit....your body will get used to expecting something if you make it a habit.

    I feel like that this morning, It is rare, I would eat like fruit just to know your getting something in your system.

    Eat something anyway. You don't have to wait for hunger to be the driving factor. Schedule a small meal of calorie dense food every few hours. Have full fat yogurt, peanut butter, nuts, eggs. Those things don't have a lot of volume, do have calories and nutrition and generally go down pretty easy.
