Maintaining while injured

how do I maintain my weight while im injured? I can't exercise at all so should I stick to eating 1340 calories a day or eat more or less? I'm 5"9 and weigh 123.

You eat less...your energy expenditure will decrease so you eat less. It's just a math equation.

That said, I'm highly skeptical that at 5'9" your maintenance would be 1340 calories. My wife is 5'2" and oldish and without exercise maintains around 1700 calories...2200 - 2300 with exercise.
