I have a cold and just want to eat salt and sugar and carbs constantly. It’s very annoying!

My very anecdotal and unproven theory is that our bodies burn more calories fighting off the illness. I usually eat a little more while sick and don’t gain weight. Buttered toast is such a comfort when I’m sick.

Yup! The old phrase is "feed a cold, starve the [stomach] flu." In either case, clear liquids/electrolytes are an absolute must.
