It's been two days now since I've been able to work out.. Feeling like crap. Should I just wait until I feel better, or just soldier through the "pain" and try and go to the gym for at least a little bit of effort?

Metabolism increases when you're sick.
Normal protein intake increases 30% with a fever/cold (this is just resting and not working out).
So you're doing more harm than good when working out sick.

I wouldn't do it. just the fact that you might infect others...

Don't do it

Eliminate the competition

srs though, i read someone say youre sick from the neck up, lift. If from the neck down, dont lift



For the instance of a cold (neck up), ive also read it can be overall good to do a moderate workout

Only if the symptoms are congestion, and minor stuffiness and nasal drip.

But if you have a fever, regardless of whether it's above/below your neck you're going to go catabolic and lose your gains since protein requirement increases (amongst other macros/micros) with a fever.

intredasting.
what are bolded micros/macros?

another question here.. so I find my self eating a shit ton while sick, is that good or bad?

I usually lift if its not too severe.. actually seems to make me feel better temporarily. Just make sure you disinfect everything you touch

nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and protein and vitamins + minerals.
