Ugh. I feel it comin' on. That horrible chest cold. Or is it a flu-bug? My husband has been sick for two weeks & is just now sounding "normal" again. At any rate, I feel horrible today, and I know it's the "ick" that's currently going around. Head hurts... feeling super stuffy. And VERY VERY TIRED. Ugh.
So... eating when I'm sick is different while dieting. When I'm sick, my favorite go-to foods are Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup (w/multiple saltine crackers!) and lots & lots of orange juice. Yup - the two things I try to avoid most.... sodium & sugar! - but it is the food/drink that makes me feel better (or at least not so yucky) when I'm sick.
So what do you eat when you're sick? All I want to do at this moment is leave work, go home, climb in bed, and suffer quietly.
