I am getting a cold, and I am simply not hungry... normally I'm all about the next mealtime. :laugh: Is this my body telling me it needs less food right now, or is my body giving me false signals because I'm not feeling well? I have some nuts and peanut butter and avocado in the house, so I can meet calories for the day if I should, but should I be eating if I'm not hungry? Please help!

    You also have to think that your body is burning more calories by trying to fight off an illness (fever, etc), but I am sick now, and I am also having a hard time eating my calories. I try to have small meals throughout the day and put some heavy hitters in there like peanut butter and almonds. I just barely made my requirements today...I'm really not going to go out of my way to eat them, but I try. Just be sure to drink plenty of fluids, but I'm sure you already know that :happy:

    Thank you both so much! I'm a few hundred short, but my body doesn't seem to want anything more so I'll leave it at that for the night. Feel better Courtney!
