Can you maintain muscle while you are sick…
I’m not working out because I’m sleeping about 12 hours a day. I can’t fit in all of my meals and calories into the MUCH shorter day… I’ve got to force myself to eat right now as it is since I’m sick as a dog (do dog’s get this sick?) Anyway, I’m concerned about losing lean mass as I can already tell that I’m losing weight… NOT GOOD, as all of you know.
Does ANYONE have some good advice (even less-than-good, since I have NONE at the moment) on how I can ‘maintain" while sick??

Try sipping on a diluted protein shake….if it’s diluted enough it’s not likely to make you sick to your stomach….if you’re not that kind of sick and you can eat ok when you’re awake, skip the diluted part, add an extra scoop and drink your calories. Other than that…rest up, the faster you get back to normal, the better

I slammed down a double-scooper before going to bed at 4:00pm yesterday (yikes), I don’t feel as weak this morning. I’m sure the calories will help a ton. SImple, but effective. I hope I’m consuming enough overall to maintain though. THANKS.
