I've been sick for the past few days, no appetite, and have only managed to eat about 500 cals daily. Will this mess up my weight loss? I don't really feel like eating anything because I feel so terrible.

    Just recover and carry on. It won't mess with it permanently.

    No, just a few days won't affect anything. Several weeks or months of eating this way will cause major issues though.

    when youre sick pretty much anything goes, go with what feels right for you and work on feeling better. my rule is when you're sick or hungover do what makes you feel best LOL
