Quick start
Start here
How to maintain healthy weight while unable to train normally.
Reset the goal
Weight control is secondary to recovery quality
- Healing tissue needs calories and protein every day.
- Trying to diet hard during injury usually hurts rehab quality.
Keep structure
Meal timing matters when training rhythm is gone
- Use regular meals and planned snacks instead of grazing all day.
- Start with protein and produce, then add carbs to match rehab load.
Choose smart
Reduce extras before you reduce essentials
- Late-night snacks, liquid calories, and mindless treats are the first trim point.
- Do not cut recovery meals, calcium foods, or daytime protein.
What Usually Happens
- Training drops
- Appetite sometimes stays the same
- Weight may change a little
What To Aim For
- Keep protein high
- Reduce portions only if activity truly dropped
- Keep meals regular
