How do people deal with illness related hunger. I have a cold and feel the only way I can function is to eat. :(

    Eat. You need the calories to fight the virus.

    Switch to maintenance for the duration of your illness. Your body needs calories to recover. Remember, this isn't a race.

    If you're sick, you should/could switch to maintenance calories for a few days. Your body needs fuel to recover and if you stay at maintenance you at least know you're not going to gain anything.
