What do you eat when you're feeling under the weather?
popsicles if it's one of those colds/flus where I don't want to eat & especially with a sore throat.
Corn chowder or any kind of soup is good too, maybe chicken curry.

One thing: calories are not created equal. You said "the ham, egg, and cheese on an English muffin (310 calories) is a better bet than the multigrain bagel with light cream cheese (500 calories)."
I'm pretty sure that's a white english muffin(no Dunkin Donuts here, correct me if that's wrong). Plus the saturated fat.... The bagel may not be a fantastic breakfast, but it's got fibre. I'd say it might be worth the extra calories.
When I'm sick, I love ramen noodles with hot sauce. Something about the hot salty broth and the spicyness really makes me feel better. Other favorites: crackers, pad thai, mac&cheese, grilled cheese (cheddar on wheat only!), or chicken pot pie.
Anything unhealthy: Mac and cheese, pizza bagels, Mcdonalds hamburgers. I take comfort in killing myself slowly apparently.

Chew on That
Mac and cheese, rice, chicken soup. If there's leftover spaghetti, that's wonderful. But I don't cook very well when I'm sick, so I stick to very plain things and let hubby fend for himself. Otherwise he has to deal with my odd sense of taste, which can result in some odd flavors in the end product.
Coffee nearly always tastes terrible to me when I'm sick, as does any sort of seafood. Many other things take on a weird or metallic taste, so I'm best off sticking to the few things that I know will be okay.
As soon as I'm feeling better, the first thing I crave is a big steak or beef roast.
Vegetable Noodle Soup with a squirt of lemon juice, Mashed Potatoes with Olive Oil and many times, I crave Macaroni and Cheese...

Dragon and Phoenix soup - shrimp and chicken in broth, green onions, fresh ginger, noodles...
Rice, pastina, chicken soup. And if I am too sick cook it myself, I'll open up a can of Progresso Chickarina soup.
Miso soup & fried gyoza. Especially after a "rough" night....
Breakfast for dinner always makes me feel good. Lots of eggs, hashbrowns (with hot sauce), even pancakes. I think I like it so much because my mom used to make breakfast for dinner when I was a kid.
Scrambled eggs with ketchup. White bread (as soft as possible) with Welch's grape jelly. Streit's matzoh with whipped butter. Social Tea biscuits. Tea with lots of milk.
