@cbeard1 as a patient, I can tell you that our taste buds change. Sometimes daily! Not good news for our spouses or caregivers that are trying so hard to make us eat. Soft foods are better for me during chemo. And small portions spaced a few hours apart. I use whey protein powder I put in applesauce, pudding, grits, etc. also yogurt with manuka honey and fruit, “Bright “ tastes work for me like sips of orange juice on ice, fruit popsicles, and also 7 up with extra lime (not Mountain Dew!). Also pasta with some butter. You might shred vegetables like carrots to add into things. Roasted broccoli becomes like candy-can eat a few at a time. I hope there is something here that could help.
