That's okay, what you want to focus on, on those days when you don't have a whole lot of appetite is to make sure that you drink your fluids and also eating small frequent snacks instead of focusing on three large meals every day. Fluids that you can drink while if you have a decreased appetite, include water broth, soup, popsicles, gelatin, and even smoothies or nutritional supplement drinks.
Small snacks that you can eat during the day can include yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, chicken, peanut butter, beans. So there's many healthy choices that you can eat and snack on throughout the day.
