Calorie shortage

If I come up short on my daily calories, should I make them up on other days or not? Yesterday I was sick and in bed and only had 200 calories, so is it better or worse to make those up?

    I've had a day or 2 in the past where I couldn't stomach any food because I was sick. I wouldn't force it on me to make up for those calories the next day if it was near dear impossible to take them in the first place. Personally, I'd just start the next day fresh instead of almost doubling your caloric intake.

    If you can eat a little more (200 cals a day) for the next few days, do it. Otherwise, it's not going to have any adverse affects for one day.
