Calorie dense foods while sick.
Does anyone have some calorie dense foods that you like to eat while you are sick?
I’ve got a raging bilateral ear infection with sinusitis which is making breathing very difficult, let alone eating. I am currently unable to breathe while I eat so anything that requires extensive chewing is exhausting to consume. I can’t taste or smell anything either so that has impacted my interest in food as well. Drinking fluids takes a long time as I get breathless after a few sips. I’m finding that I am having a few bites of something and just putting it down because I can’t be bothered.
I’m consuming roughly 1100 calories a day at the moment. My maintenance calories are ~1900 and my deficit has my daily calorie goal at 1400 calories/day. I’ve lost 3.2kgs in a week.
I’m open to any and all suggestions. I can’t heal if I don’t eat and I can’t keep skipping meals because it’s too much effort.
