49 YO Male, 5’11", 200 lbs, 33" waist, and lifting since 2017.
Drs.,
I suffered a comminuted fracture of my left calcaneus last Sunday and will have surgery to install plates and screws this Tuesday.
My question is about diet post-op and not dropping too much weight.
My joke is that I am a power lifter trapped in a cyclists body. Without consistent lifting and To Be A Beast macros my “natural” weight is around 165 pounds.
Would maintenance macros be best to support healing and maintain muscle? Or would recomp macros be better with the lowered carb levels considering lower activity?
I appreciate your guidance.
