Try protein shakes for the protein.
Milk for the carbs
Peanut butter/olive oil for the fats ?

You might be very hungry though

There's some decent OTC throat sprays that can help numb the sore throat pain....

The only problem with protein shakes is that it dehydrates hardcore so the throat feels even more irritated but good idea i can warm it up and add tons of milk to it.. Gonna surprise my toilet after tho

O never heard of spray for throat, what's the ingredient though? Is it that effective compared to 650mg acetaminophen every 3-4 hours?

i open my mouth and put shit in it...LMOA! it is hard, i usually will drop 2 meals out of my regular 7 and try to choke the crap down...being on gear will help maintain the muscle mass even known one might be dehydrated and look and feel smaller, the actual tissue is being protected...the key thing is staying hydrated...and when you are sick it is hard to do...

The Active Ingredient is Phenol in most of them like Chloraseptic which you can pick-up at CVS etc. It's a topical anesthetic which directly numbs inflamed throat tissue. IMO it works good enough to get a meal down etc...

Sore throat? I guess you have not read my sore throat cure. It's so simple, works great and immediately and although you will think it may taste nasty, it doesnt.

Glass of warm water, mix a small teaspoon of Cayenne pepper and gargle. Immediately 50% of the sore throat should be gone. Add a little Cayenne pepper to some chicken soup and eat it and it helps even more. You will be surprised.
