I just finished two months of ABBH I, and plan to take one week break before doing ABBH II. I got an ankle injury during the break. I just got an x-ray and nothing is broken or anything, but I won’t be able to put much weight on the ankle for at least a couple of weeks.
I’m planning to go back to my workout since I can’t get myself to eat properly when I’m not working out. Can anyone please suggest what changes I can make to my workout program, since I can’t do squat, deadlift and stuff? Thanks!!

I would suggest the following:
Leg press- just use your good leg.
Bodyweight lunges - but only if you can do them with minimal discomfort. Not only are they good for your legs, but it’ll help you re-gain balance/coordination in your injured ankle.
Single leg, Strait leg deadlift - sounds weird, but there are a couple articles on the site that show them being done.
I think there’s more info on uni-lateral leg exercises in “West Side for Skinny Bastards”. Check it out.
You should be fine for doing leg extensions and leg curls. Not normally a fan of leg extensions, but if it’s all you can do, it’s better than nothing.
You may want to get a few sessions of physical therapy. They could give you more ideas for exercises, and PT usually helps you recover faster.
