I wanted to include some ideas and things I do, but I didn't have time before. Hopefully, if you are not feeling well you can get someone to help with some food prep. The idea is to have several things quickly available, so there is not much prep time when you need to eat next.
<br />
<br />Hard boil 2 or more dozen eggs to have them ready to go.
<br />Bake 6 or more sweet potatoes, after they cool, peel and store in fridge.
<br />Make a large pot of chili, divide and store in fridge.
<br />Buy some nuts and seeds. I usually pick up a large bag of almonds. It may help to divide them out into baggies, then when you sit to eat them force yourself to finish the bag.
<br />Buy some fresh fruit, ie apples, cut and dip in peanut butter
<br />Buy some cheese, cheese sticks or slices
<br />Buy some whole wheat bread and peanut butter, for peanut butter sandwiches or PB&J if you wish
<br />Have some sort of nutritional shake available, ie ensure, instant breakfast, etc
<br />Buy some microwavable bags of veggies, ie broccoli. That way you can just put a bag in and its ready to eat in about 6 minutes. drizzle with melted cheese or butter, if you wish.
<br />Make a batch of pasta or a casserole that can be portioned ahead of time.
<br />Pick up your favorite breakfast cereal or oatmeal, etc
<br />etc, etc.
<br />
<br />Try to plan your day of eating and keep track of what you eat and if you can record the number calories you eat. Try to increase the calories each day. Push yourself to eat/finish what you have decided to eat for that meal even if you are not hungry. If you can push yourself to eat, you can pack some pounds back on.
<br />
<br />Hope that is helpful for someone. That is kind of what I do during times when I am struggling with my weight.
<br />
<br />The other thing is to exercise or weight train if you can. Your body will be asking for more food/nutrients.
