Sick and Under Calories

My boyfriend was recently kind enough to share some sort of illness with me. Now my throat hurts, can barely swallow, dead tired, and general feeling like crap. I've been trying to eat but my stomach isn't very happy about it. So, for the question: I'm up to 900 calories for today and know that's under the recommended 1200. Should I try to eat something to bring it up or leave it and call it a day?

    Gah, I'm sick now, too! I figure there's no point in forcing yourself to eat, unless you can stomach some broth or juice. Call it a day and get some rest.

    ETA: One day way under isn't going to put you in the dreaded "starvation mode."
