I have a similar problem off and on with my husband (who is undergoing chemo). The Jimmy Dean Bacon breakfast bowl is something that he can usually stomach and gives him 400 calories + 26 gm protein.

In trying to stuff calories, cheesecake is something to look at. We got a cheesecake for Christmas that had 640 calories per 1/8 of the cake. Too bad my husband doesn't like cheesecake!

I'll look up the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl. If it has eggs in it, that's a non-starter as he is allergic to eggs. Go figure. Eggs are a good source of protein. When we go to his Oncologist soon we'll ask him about the lack of appetite and why he prefers soups, liquids for food. I have a nice recipe for Cheesecake and I know he has eaten that before. I'll give it a try. Thanks!!!

Finally good news. His Oncologist have Bill a B12 shot along with fluids infusion. He has gained 5 pounds since Jan 2 and his appetite is absolutely better. He's eating pureed soup 3x daily along with Boost, milk shakes and anything else I can get him to eat. Thanks for your suggestions and hope for our spouses!!
