Other way around. When you have fever your body is burning extra calories just by the increase in internal temperature. So you have to eat in order to keep from feeling more weak. With a cold, your taste buds are just about dead anyway and it actually helps that you drink more but eat less.

It's starve a fever, feed a cold. However, listen to your body. If you are hungry eat, if not don't.
