Reply With QuoteI think you should increase your cals a bit and make it a maintenance diet. The foods and meals look good but not enough cals for you IMO.

3 weeks? That's rough. I almost went insane when I took my scheduled 1 week off.
Well I hope you manage, and good luck with the recuperation.

I would say 2400 is good because I remember a while back that you were trying to bulk at around 2500-2600. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with Jodi - I think what you are eating looks great, but I would increase your totals a little. I'd probably aim for 2600 cals... Not only are you recovering from surgery, but a 600 cal drop, all in one go, is a little too much for my liking.
You are not going to blow up over 3 weeks - Start with something higher and see what happens. If you are unhappy, then take off a little more.... No harm will be done if you keep it clean.
You might actually find that this is just the break your body needs to kick up your anabolism and get you actually adding some mass, instead of just 'trying' to add mass!
