making up for sickness?

So I had foot poisoning in the middle of the night I had food poisoning and threw up a bunch of food. Do I need to try to eat extra today to make up for it? I'm trying to gain/maintain.

    As a frequent sufferer of stomach bugs/illnesses I say no. Eat a bland diet for the next few days or you may run the risk of being ill all over again. Just because you feel "better" doesn't actually mean you are. Slowly work back into your normal diet and if you feel you need to gain a pound or two the work on it then.
