appetite help

Butterfly_Brain

I am another with poor appetite, I usually have beans on toast with grated cheese on the can' be asked to cook days, full of protein, carbohydrate and calcium, and my dietician says that it is a good all round meal.

Scrambled eggs with gammon and mushrooms takes no time to cook.

Jacket potatoes take 15mins in the microwave.

Make a big batch of savoury mince in the freezer, that you can turn into bolognaise, cottage pie, chilli etc

Can't beat a tin of beans on toast for ease, taste & convenience

pastina -

chicken stock cubes and small pasta shapes (asda, sainsbury's sell them)

boil up 2 chicken stock cubes in a pot, add a cup of pasta shapes - boil for 8-10 mins.

put in soup bowl - for extra flavour add - grated parmesan and pepper.

I like it with a smidge of cream cheese, for example laughing cow, boursin)

very simple, comforting and surprisingly tasty with lashings of bread, toast and butter

I use Pinterest to look at easy recipes, sometimes just seeing the lovely photos makes me want to eat!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in replying but i have been ill for a few days.

Some of those ideas sound great, i forgot all about cheesey beans on toast.

I love home made soups but never seem to have any nice bread in to go with it lol.

Lamewolf i am going to stock up on the tinned tomatoes.

Will try to increase the fruit intake.

Thanks everyone

I eat toast.. or rice krispies.. that's about it!

Cheesy baguettes are really nice (4 for £1 at the moment in Tesco) they make good mini pizza's.. slice spread with tomato stuff, add meaty bits and cheese.. 2 minutes under the grill..

eating is really boring.. all that monotonous chewing.. drone drone drone...

Would home made bread from a breadmaker help?
I hope you are back on your feet soon.

It's good to know that Im not the only one who is fed up with food and eating !

I use those rice pouches a lot and and add cheese. I also like puddings such as slow cooker rice pudding.

Hi,
DH and i went to the butchers today and the freezer has some tasty meat in it, my mouth was actually watering in the butchers so i hope that helps my appetite.

We are planning on a supermarket trip tomorrow (i usually do it online but just buy the same stuff every week). We are hoping to browse at items we would usually bypass. I just hope that we are not stuck in there all day.
We have shopped by price all our married life so we are going to look at food not so much the price tomorrow. I am not planning on being silly about it though.

If we need to spend extra money to get me eating regularly again it's more important than scrimping so much, i am hoping our budget can take the hit.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply i really appreciate it,

regards
