    depends on what you are trying to accomplish, how you feel, and what activity you are able to continue with. I've done it both ways - the main thing to remember is to adjust your calories accordingly since you are probably less active. How much you adjust is up to your goals.

    Like you said, though, keep protein high - you will likely lose some muscle due to inactivity anyways, so try to minimize it.
