colds throw a wrench into everything!

Argh! I have this sinus cold and I either dont feel like eating at all or I try to "feed" the cold. I am exhausted and although not going over in calories I am just not getting what I need as far as protein, water and fiber. CArbs are never a prob esp when I am sick.

Hoping this goes away soon so I can get on track again.

Thanks for letting me vent!

I;ve been battling the same thing for the past 5 days...I have ZERO energy! UGH!!!!!!!!! Just when I thought I was getinng somewhere!!

Try feeding your cold with some low-sodium home made vegetable soup (throw in a chicken breast - it's low in calories).....and perhaps some double-fiber wheat bread for dippin.....

Don't let the cold fool you - eating differently at this stage of the game will not help your cold. It may only serve to bum you out, lowering your resistence to being sick longer.

Fight it...you can do this.
