Here are some things to try for lack of appetite:

- Eat small meals or snacks frequently, perhaps every couple of hours.
- Eat snacks that are high in protein or calories, such as nutrient bars, ensure nutrition drinks, milk shakes, cheese, fruits, peanut butter, nuts, crackers, and juices.
- Drink dense fluids such as milk, milk shakes, and juice.
- Prepare food that is colorful and appealing to the senses.
- Try different seasonings
- Cook the food in glass containers.
- Use plastic utensils.
- Alcohol - one glass of wine or beer may help stimulate your appetite
- Try mints, candies, or gum to remove the bad taste in your mouth.
- Eat with others, make it a social event, change the time and setting, or watch tv to take your mind off of eating.
- Rinse your mouth out before you eat to cleanse your tastebuds, try the following - tea, ginger ale, salted water, baking soda in water
