So what do you do when you're sick? I have to drink a lot of juice right now and it's very high in calories. :(

I still need to eat. Ugh. I am just going to give up the ghost for three days, eat my alloted daily intake, not count the juice, do my juice for three days, and be done with it.

In three days I will just go back to no juice. Normal calories.

    Why don't you have the actual fruit? Have an orange instead of orange juice? Ramp up on fruits and veggies and rest.

    I wouldn't and don't count calories when I'm sick. I probably end up eating less anyways just from lack of appetite.

    I say don't sweat it. Rest, recover, and restart the counting and exercising once you're better.

    unless you have a high fever or are throwing up constantly you do not HAVE to drink a lot of juice.

    You need a lot of liquids in the two previous examples because you risk becoming dehydrated at an accelerated rate, with throwing up you also risk a tear if you throw up on an empty stomach. But there is nothing wrong with water. In fact, if you are throwing up, water would be best because juice curdles and comes up in all shades and textures of wrong.

    eat fruit (if you can) drink water and you will be fine.

    for the health benefits just check its actual cranberry juice and not just cranberry flavoured sugar water

    health shops often sell cranberry capsules. All the benefits without the extra sugars

    really the only reason I can think of why cranberry juice would be recommended, and why would that be the only consumable?
