With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I weigh 63 kg, which is within normal range for my height of 5ft 8. I am concerned about missing out on workouts, but I know my body needs to heal. What is the best strategy for me to follow to feel my best again? Are there any food groups I should concentrate on eating while I recover? Thanks for your help!

	2006/03/02, 08:31 AM I would take extra Vitamin C+Zinc (assuming you take multivitamine already)as well as Fish Oil supplement to minimize muscle lose... I would try to drink more water if possible....aim for a gallon or gallon and a half.... If you have a hard time eating....you may want to consider RMDs or other liquid meal replacements.... you should fill out your profile...it helps tailor our answers to you....
