I too am on the DL list due to hitting a dog at ~20mph last night. Earned me a trip to the hospital via ambulance. Fortunately, nothing is broken on me but I'll be down for a couple of weeks. I can't even use the bowflex because the worst injury is my shoulder.

I decided to suspend the diet for the recovery period and MyFitnessPal tells me for a sedentary lifestyle to maintain my weight I should be eating 2200 calories a day without exercise. I can "feel" my body needing the nutrition for repairs. Of course, I'll try not to put junk calories in and give preference to whole foods, multi-grains, protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

I am most concerned about losing muscle mass until I can start training again. I'll follow this thread as well for advice.
