Eating while injured

Thought I would ask for some opinions around here.

I'm currently injured and I can't train properly as a result. I can do some things but exercise choices are very limited and I'm not allowed go high intensity or push myself.

But in the weeks since the injury I have gained a few kilos as to be honest I've been eating like I'm still training and probably some extra crap as I get hungry when bored and can't do anything. I'm already wanting to lose fat so any gain is bad. I'm giving up my goal of gaining muscle/strength as I just can't train that way but I would like to at least maintain as much of what I already have.

So how to I go about eating?
On one hand I want to control the weight and if possible lose some but on the other hand I want to give my body all the things it needs to best heal as fast I can. So how do I best balance those two things?

Tell me about it sister!!!

I haven't been able to train properly for months. Took time off. It became an opportunity to eat too much of the wrong foods. You need to maintain that focus and discipline you have when training coz its even more important when not burning those cals. Don't see injured time as time off is my advise, it leads to lack of discipline. Treat diet as just as important if not more so when "out injured".
