The feed-a-cold idea arose out of folk lore concerning the disease process, namely that there were two kinds of illnesses, those caused by low temperatures (colds and chills) and those caused by high temperatures (fever). If you had a chill, you wanted to stoke the interior fires, so you pigged out. If you had a fever, you didn't want things to overheat, so you fasted.
Time to get back to working off all those extra calories.
