Default Preserving muscle loss while sick

For the past few days I've been sick, tommorow I'm going in for blood work to make sure everythings normal and hopefully figure out what the hell is goin on with me. I'm starting to think I'm crazy!

My symptoms are as follows :
Stiff neck
Swollen/tender lymph node on neck
Huge loss of appetite! Usually consuming 3,000 calories and past 4 days I can't even stomach 1,200ish.. Its not as tho I get sick from eating, I just feel stuffed after a small amount.. For instances I can usually inhale a 12 inch sub and still be hungry.. I went to subway and nibbled about 3 inches of my 12inch and put it away for later.

So how can I preserve weight/muscle loss while this is going on? I haven't missed a day in the gym in so long I have really been on track and now I've had to skip the last 2 days tommorow will be my 3rd and its already been hard to put on lean mass. I learned how to cook chicken thanks to you guys :] and have been eating about 3 breasts a day, now I can't even eat 1.


I thot about maybe taking a high calorie protein shake 2 times a day.. I have muscle milk which I drink once in a great while. Never regularly tho
