How do I increase my appetite?

I’ve been upset a lot today so I haven’t had an appetite, I ate a bowl of spaghetti and a cupcake this morning, I’m pretty sure that counts as not being healthy and the day is pretty much over, unless I can get by with only eating that? Plus I feel that I shouldn’t really eat so that makes the situation worse.

Answer #1

Try something small like toast and maybe some fruit, sorry to hear u have had such an upsetting day, hope tomorrow is better

Answer #2

Sometimes getting your mind of your troubles can help like taking long runs or working out which will then give you those cravings for fuel.

Answer #3

Stressful situations release cortisol in the body which suppresses appetite and makes you feel upset. They sell appetite increasing products, like Black Hole or the Big C (I think) which aren’t expensive at all if you need help. Also, some studies show eating certain BCAAs helps increase appetite in the body and also nuts help too.
