I am losing weight - and I don't have extra pounds to lose!

It makes sense, but it's something I've never thought about. In order to heal, my body is burning through tons of calories. So, I've been eating the same amount I normally do, and I'm normally pretty active. But, I've been losing weight, even though I'm doing far less physical activity. I found some sketchy sources, but this one looks pretty legit: https://www.hss.edu/files/Nutrition_for_Healing.pdf It turns out, I'm burning more calories than I'd normally burn - even though I'm normally pretty active. That explains why I'm losing weight. I've lost like 12 pounds! Well, that's more like 14 pounds, 'cause I have about 2 pounds of titanium in my hip. I haven't actually confirmed this with a physician yet, but the web and some not-very-sketchy sites seem to confirm it. It makes sense. I just never really thought of it before. So, if you want to lose some weight, just get into a wreck and break some bones! I'm going to increase my caloric intake to about 3,500 calories a day and see where that gets me.
