Weight...or keeping weight down is very important for people with Spinal Cord Injuries mo and for people who are in wheelchairs due to other disabilities as you are.
Many people with SCI are already on bowel programmes so eating healthy is often an already consideration. I have also found that we are also pretty much aware of the need to exercise and keep active as much as function allows.

I know there will be guidelines on calorie intakes but to be honest i personally think if you eat healthy and stay active as much as possible then its the best you can do.

Many individuals with SCI, if they have hand function will self wheel so they are getting exercise in that way...some have hand cycles or leg bikes, attend regular physio sessions or carry out daily exercises at home, go to aqua therapy or join sports.
There is a school of thought of 'use it or lose it' so emphasis is on being active to prevent bone density loss and heart disease and other problems.
Also being active takes the mind off nerve pain too.

Im going to link to our a section of the forum that is about ageing with a Spinal Cord Injury....you may find some useful info in that section. It isnt just for older people, the advise can apply to everyone really.
