Diet post-surgery?

Nutrition Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hey, Dr. Feigenbaum!

Mid-December I will have surgery. This will keep me from lifting for one month. I am 6’1”, 230 lbs., and 30% bf (according to DEXA). I am daily eating 225g protein, 250g carbs, and 75g fat. What might calorie and macro recommendations look like if I want to lose weight (mainly fat), during my one month of inactivity?

Many thanks,

Stephen

I’d just lower carbohydrates and fat to lose weight while trying to be as active as you can.
