I don't think there's anything wrong with eating a little extra healthy, well-chosen food when your body is stressed and feeling genuine hunger.
The possible benefit is that you'll feel better, heal a little quicker. And the very worst potential downside is just that you eat a few hundred calories over your target for a day or two - that's all. At the very worst, that will slow down your weight loss by less than you can measure anyhow.
I understand the hesitancy to go over one's calorie limit to indulge in treats that can set off binges or cravings, but a couple hundred calories of extra healthy food now and again is nothing to be afraid of when your body seems to need it.
Feel better soon.
