Being sick and not keeping up

Hi guys,

I was just wondering how you guys handle your macros, cal intake, etc when you are sick?

I have been sick because of my asthma and allergies for the last 3 weeks, although I've done okay, I have really reverted back to eating comfort (=unhealthy) foods.

I've been taking medicine for my cough that has codeine in it so basically I'm asleep most of the day. I'm feeling very let down, b/c I'm .5 # away from hitting the 60# loss. I just know with the way I've been eating is probably going to put me in the other direction.

I suffer with severe allergies and moderate asthma all year long, but sometimes I'm just out of commission and I'm really depressed over it.

Thanks for any words of wisdom you can give me!

Amy
