Eating a high-protein diet is vital in recovery as protein can help repair the damaged body tissues, make up for the muscle loss that occurred during the infection.
Include lentils, legumes, nuts, dairy, eggs, white meat, soya, milk, and fish in your diet. Try to have at least 1 gram protein/kg of body weight every day.
For instance, if you weigh 50 kg, then ensure a minimum of 60 grams of protein every day. Make sure you have 1 to 2 portions of protein in each meal and have two protein-rich snacks each day too.
