Anyone else have a hard time eating healthy when sick?

I got sick 10 days ago starting with sore throat, headache & runny nose. I got in my 4 mile walk that day, but unfortunately the trail I walk on was being mowed and I am allergic to grasses. So now I have a really wheezy cough caused by either the virus or the allergies. I haven't been able to exercise for a week due to the wheezing so I lowered my calorie goal, and am struggling not to eat everything insight. I only had one day that I really didn't want to eat much, but In now want comfort foods like chicken & dumplings or lasagne. Salad does sound good, but I just don't want to make it!!
