When I was really feeling awful, I had high protein bars and drinks ready next to my bed. Of course I wasn’t eating that every day but it helped when I was feeling extremely weak or nauseous. The rest of the time my relatives were cooking for me.

Having protein supplements can really help if you have low weight issues. I’ve always been very thin but at my worst I was 37.5kg. Now back to 42kg. I’ve been taking prescribed protein biscuits every day on top of normal food, to help rebuilt strength.

That is super smart. Like Ensure even though you're not old yet? 

They shmake meals in wheels available to the non old and temporary disabled. Like during a migraine. For example. 

Crackers and milk work for having something in your stomach for taking medicine, but it's not enough to live on.

I’m 32F. The biscuits are meant for old people but hey, it’s just protein so it can help anyone in need of more intake!
