Off your food

Sushi, well the vegetarian version, either M&S or Morrisons.

Do you mean at meal times or between meals?
Between meals I have a drink of water, that takes away the feeling of wanting something.
I'm afraid I'm a control freak, always decide first thing in the morning what we're going to eat, if not the previous day or week, so usually stick to what I've decided even if I don't fancy it much.
Sorry Bags, realise that's less than helpful, hope you get your appetite back soon.

I didn't want my dinner last night but ate nothing instead. I had breakfast today as usual but now don't feel quite right again. Not ill, just not quite right. I did feel ill late yesterday afternoon but it had worn off by bedtime.

Had no lunch but just made myself a piece of toast. I'll see how it goes. Baked salmon is on the menu for tonight.

Perhaps you've had a low-grade virus?
Mild-tasting food with plenty of nutritive value perhaps the answer - baked salmon sounds good. Scrambled eggs or a baked custard maybe?

I can always be tempted by a baked potato with lots of butter and a sprinkle of salt. Hope you feel better soon bags

You've probably got some sort of virus. I think if you don't feel hungry, your digestive system perhaps needs a break. If I feel like that and I feel I must eat something to avoid developing a headache I nibble on almonds.

Another vote for eggs here, either scrambled or boiled. Or coddled. Or poached.

I'm with micelf in thinking that not feeling like eating is the body's way of saying it wants to be left alone. If loss of appetite becomes a problem however, I would try tiny amounts of very tasty, "favourite" foods - and not forgetting Jewish penicillin of course (chicken soup) or egg custards which might tempt a jaded palate.

plain yogurt (with maybe a little jam or honey) very easy to digest as the bacteria done most of the work for you.

breakfast cereal, morning, noon or night can always manage that if I don't fancy a full meal.

I've just put together a pot of chicken soup. It's bubbling merrily on the stove. I have bled a radiator and then got cross with the boiler, which has a hissy fit every time I do that. As well as getting cross with it, I went out (it's outside) and sorted the pressure valve. Gave the boiler casing a kick for good measure too – you have to actually to make the door stick. I think the fact that I can get cross with a boiler means I'm over the worst.

Quite looking forward to that salmon now, and the chicken soup will be lovely for tomorrow's lunch.

Thank you for the ideas . I shall horde hoard (I always have to think about that one) them for next time.

Porridge with a handful of dried fruit and a handful of almond slivers a teaspoonful of brown sugar and a dollop of cream if your tummy/stomach/belly is ok.

I might go for that tomorrow morning, stansgran. Good idea.

The salmon is in the oven now and I'm looking forward to it. Virus should have occurred to me over the last couple of days which were more than usually painful. This happens with ME . Just as I always used to get a headache when my period was due but didn't think of that until it started, and then I'd think: Oh, that! Duh

Sounds yucky but I like a pot of cottage cheese and pineapple from Asda with a packet of Walkers plain crisps. Sounds revolting but they do it for me, I think it must be the sweetness and salt combo. Better than my mothers Frys Turkish Delight sandwiches.

Eggs on toast, always make me happy.hope you feel better tomorrow Bags

I so wish that I would go off my food but it just doesn't happen to me! Hope you perk up soon Thatbags

chicken broth. I always have some frozen to eat after feeling really off food,or being in bed with a virus.

If not, then tea and toast. I have to be really poorly to go off toast.
Hope you feel better now......

I know I'm ill if I wake up and don't immediately think of having a cup of tea. And certain foods that I used to love but ate when I was coming down with a virus don't go down well any more [assume my body associates the food with feeling bad afterwards which shows I've still got a few animal instincts]. For some reason a beefburger with as many additives in it as possible goes down well when I'm feeling better [apologies to vegetarians who are probably turning green at the thought]. Reckon it's all the monosodium glutomate [sp] and stuff in them. In fact, if a cat or dog is off their food you give them something with a strong smell such as liver. [the mention of liver is making me turn green now ].

When I am off my food but need to eat something I will have plain noodles. Children used to have a little fish in parsley sauce and a spoonful of mashed potato.

Tinned spaghetti on toast, cheese and tomato risotto anything sloppy tasty and easy to eat. Nothing that incorporates eggs or milk.

Fried Turkish Delight Sandwiches POGS?????

Toast and Marmite, or a drink made with hot water and Marmite.

Well done bags just came up for a quick look round before turning in, and you reminded me to take soup out of the freezer for tomorrows lunch. Now, what's it to be, leek and potato or lentil and bacon...........

Frys or fried . Turkish delight in a sandwich, why ?? That's just soooo wrong.
