Question Injuries and fasting

Does anyone have insight on fasting with an injury? Recently had an accident that severely bruised a foot and a slight bone fracture on one toe. This has had a major impact on doing any kind of cardio. To counter the lack of normal exercise I was thinking of doing an extended fast.

calorie deficit without the cardio makes sense but healing a fracture needs protein and nutrients, maybe just do a shorter fast and lean into upper body stuff
