I was ill yesterday and unable to eat for most of the day, so I ended up with a 1500cal deficit. I am aiming for a 1lb a week loss, I have about 25lbs or so left to lose. So should I eat some of those calories today, or would that make me gain or stall? I am so confused as I haven't ran into a problem like this before. Thanks for your help

Don't gorge yourself to make up for those calories. One day isn't going to make much of a difference. Glad you feel better!0

I had the flu and all i could eat was italian ice and pop cycles and after i was done with that i just made sure i ate healthy and all my cals. No need to over-eat. You were sick. Now you're not, so pick up here and go from there!0

Each day is its own day, your body does most of its repair and storage at night while you sleep. Don't eat a ton of food on any one day because the calories not used will be stored.0
