When I'm sick, I like to eat carbs if I get hungry. Usually I'm just not hungry. Today I had some chicken soup and then I went to Sheetz for gas. I strolled into the store and decided to look at their food options. I walked out with the fried combo. OMG so good. Probably wouldn't be so good if I wasn't sick.
I should add I also got a Naked Blue Machine while I was there, as well.....
What do you treat yourself to when you're sick?

Usually whatever I want. If I'm craving salty, I'll eat a bag of microwave popcorn (the whole bag) and have a can of diet coke. Then, I usually want something a little sweet to offset all that salt and have something chocolatey.

I'm usually not hungry when I'm sick. My go to's are a baked potato or chicken noodle soup. But every now and then I will make my hubs go up the street and get me and order of tots from Sonic because it's the only thing that sounds good!

Ditto @MamaMoose: I never have any appetite when Im sick. I usually can only stomach fries.

I don't want much food when I'm sick, but if i want soup, i get soup. i try not to eat too many carb/sugar, because it inhibits healing, so I just kind of like to curl up on the couch, drink lots of hot tea, and have super spicy soup, because usually I can't taste anything, too!

I'm usually extra hungry while sick, and I'm pretty indulgent. I think eating horribly sometimes (but not all the time!) is perfectly fine.

I actually crave sushi (not raw) when I am sick--and that has also been appealing to me now with some milk morning sickness. A sweet potato tempura roll, a california roll (fake crab), miso soup and salad with carrot ginger dressing? The perfect light, healthy, salty, gingery pick me up dinner.

If I have an appetite, I go nuts! Try to feed that cold. One thing that I do avoid though is dairy.

No, I try to eat SUPER healthy when I'm sick so that I give my body the nutrients it needs to get better.

Yes! I usually get Panera chicken noodle soup & ice cream. Knock on wood, I haven't been sick in a while (er at least not morning sick!)
