I dislocated my knee cap today which means no more exercising for 2 weekz
During this time, should I eat at my cut percentage? Or perhaps a bit lower (still above my bmr of course) because I'm not going to be active?

    If it really only for two weeks you should be getting away eating as usual. If it is longer I would change my activity level and recalculate.
    Hope your knee will heal quickly

    I think I'm gonna recalculate it anyway since I will be staying at home, nesting on the couch for quite a long period of time each day
    Thank you! I do too so I can start exercising again!!

    Since you have an injury where you need to be down for the two weeks, I would suggest changing to the activity but eating at TDEE of that level to give your body the fuel it needs to heal quickly.

    You can always get your heart rate up and lift weights without using your legs, if you're interested in continuing to exercise. Go to youtube.com and search chair exercises. There are lots of cardio and weight lifting suggestions. Also, ab work!!
