Astronauts Stranded on ISS Manage Diet Without Fresh Produce

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been on the International Space Station for five months due to spacecraft issues.

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were originally scheduled for an eight-day mission but have been on the ISS for five months due to technical malfunctions with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
The astronauts' diet includes freeze-dried foods such as cereals, pizza, shrimp cocktails, and roast chicken, but lacks fresh fruits and vegetables.
NASA doctors are closely monitoring the astronauts' health, ensuring they consume enough calories despite the limited diet options.
The ISS replenishes fresh produce only once every three months, leading to reliance on packaged and freeze-dried alternatives.
Sunita Williams has addressed concerns about her weight loss, attributing it to fluid shifts in the microgravity environment rather than dietary deficiencies.
