I am super sick right now and haven't eaten much in a few days. It's getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal.

Any suggestions on things to eat that go down easy and has nutritional value? Flavor is pretty far down on my list of requirements right now and I'm finding myself exhausted after chewing a few bites. Any serious suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I used to have to force feed myself when I wasn't hungry. Ramen was essential for priming the appetite. But not the bad stuff. Good stuff like Black Shin

If taste isn't a concern, I've gotten by with chlorella and cocoa chia pudding for longer than I care to admit. I don't mind the taste of chlorella, but most people apparently don't find it and other seaweed all that appetizing, but it's a drink so you can just chug it like a beer or something and neutralize the taste with like a splash of lemon juice or water with lemon juice. Won't fill your stomach all that much, though.

Miso soup (with wakame and maybe tofu and veggies cut down to tiny pieces?) is also a great addition to that.

Buttered toast with salt, grapes (possibly frozen), Gatorade.

I make broth with Better Than Bouillon.

Yum. Also, careful of the sodium. Drink in moderation, or dillute it a lot.

bacteria might help

Any form of crackers works for me. Cheese flavored are the best for me, but just about any form of crackers or food that is well baked.
