oh also it's a HORRIFYING flu season right now do not skip meals for no reason, your immune system doesn't run on thin air, you need enough calories to hit your basal metabolic rate so you aren't robbing peter (operating at caloric deficit, forcing other body systems to operate less effectively or efficiently + at greater cost) to pay paul (not have to make food idk)

also the family of diseases that do weird upper respiratory stuff are often somewhat appetite suppressing because your body is too busy being sick and tired and raising alarms over those things for your stomach to be priority number one, so "not feeling hungry" is not a good reason to skip meals, either, because that may be an early sign of you already being sick, and you for damn sure need to get in the calories then for as long as you can still hold them down
