So recently I injured my leg and am on medical "leave" from my job until some time in the distant future. I am going to continue to workout my upper body though with a very light lower routine. My daily activities have now gone from being an electrician (always on my feet, climbing, lifting, crawling, digging, pounding, etc...) to sitting on the couch and playing video games all day.
Question: Should I decrease the amount of food I consume or does the sitting around mean I will be recovering faster, thereby able to lift weights more frequently and with more vigor?
