@migizi. I would also like to thank you for those suggestions. I have lost a substantial amount of weight this past year and there has been no known cause found by doctors…..a nutritionist is suggesting I eat more times per day and add protein….between nebulizing twice a day (bronchiectasis); mustering up the energy for a 1 1/2 mile walk a day; and my other chronic conditions (ie, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, arthritis, my ongoing left foot recovery) and fatigue; my appetite is poor, at best….I’m trying, but my upper abdomen does not like the pressure and I fill up quickly.

When I was on the "Big 3" antibiotics for MAC (I have bronchiectasis and asthma as well) I was losing weight like crazy -and I didn't need to. I was eating a small high-protein or high density snack every 1-2 hours, whether I wanted to or not. I tolerate cheese well, so at least 1 snack per day was one ounce of cheese - I cut or bought pre-sized chunks, so it was very easy to grab and go. Another was a small clementine or apple - again, very easy. To avoid digestive issues, my servings were between 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup at a time. I also found low-sodium V8 juice palatable after I quit the antibiotics, but not while taking them.
