When you're sick, like I am right now --can't swallow, infected throat glands/tonsilitis/laryngitis...
how are you supposed to eat all you calories? Will your body go into starvation mode? What's the healthiest liquid stuff to have while you can't swallow anything really?

Chicken Broth!0

Do some veg soup and just drink the liquid, this way you can drink your vitamins. Chicken soup liquid is also very good... it works for me.
PS! do not forget tea (lemon and honey)0 -

Soup soup soup (especially chicken noodle)! Also, drink up on some hot tea w/lemon and honey. Orange juice is good (b/c you get the vitamin C boost too).
Meal replacement shakes can help you keep calories up, too.
Fruit should be ok to swallow, just get softer fruit.0
