I broke my thumb about 3 weeks ago (a painful tuft fracture) - this coincides with base season and when I usually start a more active calorie deficit - so the question is, how safe or sane is it to reduce overall calories while keeping protein and nutrition very high quality?
My nutritionist that I had during two bone fractures gave very clear directions to not eat less, but he actually set me up for a calorie surplus, with added protein in.
Maybe you can cut back on fat a bit, but I would still make sure to eat plenty.
Its more important to heal as fast as possible, and properly
I had an elbow surgery, as well as collarbone surgery. Don’t know how these compare to thumbs, but bones are bones!
TL;DR - Eat more, not less, sleep a lot, focus on recovery and not weight.

I’ve never actually broke anything myself but in the last Podcast Nate was telling Jonathan he’d need x number calories for his break.
Be careful, Are you recover?
