We recommend having quick, easy stuff already there because you are often too drained to want to do anything. We recommend eggs, yogurt, canned tuna, cottage cheese, etc.
When people are sick, they tend to want more processed carbs. But we recommend ginger tea over saltine crackers. Bland foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, and scrambled eggs give you good protein to help you heal.
Impulse control is very important. Processed foods can cause inflammation, which may make you feel sicker. The best thing you can do is not keep those easy-to-eat, processed foods in your house. Because when you are sick and when you are tired, they are too easy to grab.
If you are so sick and cannot make anything, there are healthy things you can order from restaurants, such as chicken wings or salad.
