ill and calories

[kelvin2017]

ok so ive been extremely ill last 2 days, ive been in bed all day, my watch is saying ive burnt 2750 calories and its only 5:46pm, so by midnight its gonna be 3500 ish, cant be true can it, maybe the watch thinks ive been training with a higher heart beat? google says the body doesnt burn more calories when ill

When I came down with a cough and was spewing phlegm I couldn't workout or do cardio for a week. My strength went down and I had to rest in bed a lot more. Not until the week afterwards could I resume my fitness routine. It's very difficult to exercise when you are sick.

@kelvin2017,

How many calories do you typically burn on a rest day and on a workout day?

[kelvin2017]

well i just found some info that when you are ill and your heart rate is up and your temperature is higher, infact you do burn alot more calories in the day.. my rest days are about 2200 calories and my workout days are about 3100, its 9:13pm now and my ill day is 3329 so its goin to be about 3600 by midnight.. aint ate much either
