v v ill w 2 colds back to back wanna die miserable 90% of my last 3 weeks of waking hours, little appetite
Yes, if that’s all you can eat, definitely get the calories.
If you’re really that sick for that long, I would honestly call a doctor for some advice. Where I live there’s a number, 811, for non-emergency medical advice. Maybe there’s something like that where you are.
A while back my dad almost died from the flu because he couldn’t eat well enough to keep his electrolytes balanced, you’ll want to avoid that before it becomes potentially life threatening.
I agree with this! Ask a health professional for help.
And I hope you can ask family/friends/neighbors to check on you and help, if you are this sick or feeling down!
Worst case you can always be admitted to a hospital and get fed through IV.
If you don’t eat you die. So yes, chips are better than nothing
are potato chips better than death? yes, i think so. just barely.
Strictly speaking, yes. It’s better to get calories and marginal nutrients than no calories and no nutrients.
Definitely seek medical attention though. Eating like that isn’t sustainable and a cold shouldn’t last that long.
Switch it up. even just tortilla chips and hummus or salsa too with plenty of water and you might even survive! Nuts are great too. Dense calories and nutrients, underrated.
They have calories (energy) which your body needs for defending itself. So eat all the simple carbs you want, if that’s what you can stomach.
Try them with plain yogurt. Cuts the grease somehow and good for you.
If your hungry then eat something with lots of nutrients like liver or eggs.
If your not hungry then don’t eat. Don’t force yourself, while your sick.
Definitely see a doctor.

“I’m sick.”
“Eat liver! What you got, anyway?”
“Gout.”
Hunger and sickness are where the body shines. Sometimes the body needs to go into a semi-fasting state, only drinking not eating. Sometimes the body needs nutrition. Liver is one of the most bioavailable nutritious foods that exists, followed closely by eggs. So they’re good natural multivitamin pills when you’re not feeling well

Right the body naturally wants to fast when it’s sick, unless it’s low on some important nutrient.
Eating a big bowl of ice cream while you’re sick might feel good in the moment, but it’s not going to help you get there

I’m not trying to convince anybody, I’m just providing the best advice I can. They can take it or leave it.

Anything is better than nothing. Except maybe feces for illness reasons, but some survivalists may debate that and say that its still better than absolutely nothing.

Its true. Don’t do it.
Yes, potato chips are completely fine in that situation. I don’t know why people say they have too much salt. Sure, they have a lot, but when you have a cold, you’re supposed to drink a lot of water, so that balances out. You can lose a lot of salt due to sweating (especially if you have a fever) and peeing. And salt is a very important electrolyte. And the fat and starch gives you calories.
If you just need calories, pick something with less salt. I’ve had bad colds before but I never went to potato chips for sustenance. Also 3 weeks is a lot, you should get in touch with a doctor.
I find it hard to believe that potato chips would be your only option. If you’re not feeling well, and you’re not hungry, you have to eat something so it might as well be something easy and nutritious. try something like this: MealSquares.com; Ketolent; JimmyJoy.com; I can’t remember the rest but there are dozens of other things just like that.
