Having surgery, lower cals?

jataijah

I just upped my calories by 400 the beginning of the month because I started the New Rules of Weight Lifting program. I am having surgery next week and will not be able to exercise for a week or so. Since I will be pretty much just laying on the couch and in the bed all day should I lower my calories back down while I recover?

Yes

I would.

I would suggest that you don't worry about calories and concentrate on eating healthy foods that give you the nutrition. Veggies, legumes and fruits, along with some sunshine.

Indeed.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll lower them back down I plan to stock up on fruits and veggies. I'll keep drinking my protein shakes too
