First of all you won't be able to eat that much, with the flu you won't be able to keep anything down. Secondly, your body is burning plenty of calories keeping its immune system running at full capacity. So there really isn't that much to worry about.
if you eat alot of fatty foods, yes.
Most likely you will lose weight, because your probably not eating much.
No if anythin you'll lose weight. Your body works extra hard to get rid of your sickness so you'll burn more calories. That doean't mean you can pig out. Just watch what eat still.
I'd worry less about your weight and more about getting better.
An average of 36,000 people die from the virus and its complications.
And your worried about a few pounds? You'll probably lose weight from not eating and drinking enough. I still cnt believe that's what your worried about. Wow.
probilly not as with the flu you wouldnt be eating as much as normal, and the things you do eat, are normally very light and easy to eat as you are ill
