Slept a whole day but should I eat 2x calories today?

Options
So I've been quite ill lately and sleeping way more than usual, yesterday I slept 18 hours, so pretty much the whole day. I woke early in the morning the next day and now I'm not sure how this works with my diet, do I get to eat twice as much today or not?

    no, unless you didnt eat at all yesterday there is no reason to eat twice as much

    Sorry you're not well!
    Just eat what your stomach can handle!
    Don't worry about it till you feel better.

    I'm sorry you've not been well :( I would eat normally today, if you get super hungry then eat more but you'll probably find you'll be fine to just carry on as normal now. Listen to your body and look after yourself.

    I would eat my regular calories and if I was in the need for more food...and I don't mean feeling hungry or not....but feeling weak etc I would eat more...

    For me it's about my weekly goal as well not just my daily.

    I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I dont recommend it. You won't feel good.

    no...just follow your natural hunger signals...
    missing one day just like indulging one day, makes no difference in long run...
