When you haven't got much of an appetite, eat the foods you like. Your body needs energy - it won't do you any harm to eat cream cakes, chocolate or fish and chips, if that's what you really fancy. Are there any foods I should avoid When you're ill or having treatment, you may be more susceptible to infection and food poisoning. Raw or lightly cooked eggs. Eggs should be cooked until both yolk and white are solid.
Bottled mayonnaise is fine.
Soft ripened cheeses, for example Brie, Camembert, or blue-veined cheeses and pasteurised soft cheese, for example cottage cheese and cheese spread, should be all right. Good food hygiene is also important. If you have any questions, please ask your dietician. It may be that you're not too tired to eat but that you can't be bothered to prepare or cook food. Accept offers of help with shopping and cooking from relatives or friends and make use of convenience foods.
