What are your opinions about food or calories when you are sick with a bad cold? Obviously not exercising.

    If you have an appetite, eat to maintenance or a little over. Healing is more important than sticking to a weight-loss plan.

    old wives tales come in handy ...


    starve a fever, feed a cold.

    when im sick i eat what i want. im not typically hungry enough to worry about going much, if any, over maintenance and figure my body needs the extra calories anyways
