Nourishment on the days that feel hard
Treatment changes appetite, taste and energy. These recipes are built to be gentle, forgiving and easy to make when you have very little left in the tank.
01
Eat small and often
Six small snacks are usually easier than three meals. Keep something ready-to-eat within arm's reach.
02
Cook once, eat three times
Batch a soup or a pot of grains on a good day and freeze it in single portions for a hard one.
03
Work with your taste changes
Metallic taste often eases with tart flavors and plastic cutlery; mouth sores prefer soft, cool and unspiced.
