I ripped up a major part of my shin biking and just had surgery to put a graft on the wound.
How many calories are burned for wound healing /repair ?
Yes, everything burns calories but any EXTRA calories would be very very negligible
You burn calories just being alive. Breathing, your heart pumping and digesting food burns calories. Beyond that I would doubt your body burns more significantly measurable calories repairing itself, afterall, it does that all the time already. For most people it takes 700 calories to maintain your weight if your bed bound, but that is also an estimate.
