    So Im just getting over the flu and a stomach bug that came along with it, actually the stomach bug is still there and I barely feel like eating at all. When I do feel like eating I just feel like eating dry biscuits and very sugary lollies.Im on the second day of prep phase and I feel like crap, Im severely craving some sugar.Just curious on peoples opinion as to whether I should keep pushing through or if I should listen to my body and eat what it wants while Im still getting over it?The other reason Im trying to force myself to eat protein is because I have a muscular injury I want to heel and Im unsure whether a lack of protein (under 80g/day) will inhibit the heeling process.The sugar cravings are strange too I dont usually eat junk food or many things containing sugar.

    Alsso I just realized Im only getting about 100g of protein at the moment and I only got in 30g of fat and I was really trying today.Im starting to think that it might be a better idea to wait until Im over the bug completely and I can manage to get in the required 150g of protein and fat. Otherwise Im just setting myself up to burn protein and not fat as fuel?

    I dont mean to be daft but did you mean I should wait until Im able to take in the required amounts before I start the prep or I should keep going with it and just trying to get equal amounts of fat to protein?Thanks.

    may want to extend the prep phase a day or two.  If you have the noro virus like everyone, just work on feeling better first, then worry about eating.
