Off Day Eating

[JKurz1]

On your off days, you guys eat the same meals? Shakes, carbs, etc....minus your PW shake, of course....just curious. Thanks!

I eat the same, that is when your body needs the nutrients to recover and grow. Might drop carbs a little if I have a second or third day off tho...

So, if you only take ONE day off, you'd keep everything the same? Including late night pro. shake and snack?

Yeah, I work out Mon, Wed, Fri....so sometimes I back off on the calories a little Sunday. But let's be honest....I usually don't

Yup!

I do too. Because your body is still rebuilding muscle.

If you have a longer break, I would drop the cals some too.

That's what I figured......appetite is def. greater when you train though......think I'll hit the cardio on my off days...........stoke up the furnace a little....

I lift Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri. On days that I lift, my carbs tend to be little higher becaseu of the post workout shake. So on the off days, I replace the calories from postworkout shake with a source of good fats, like more eggs or more beef. That's about the only difference. And I like to put a workout a BIG bodypart (like legs, as opposed to shoulders and calves) before the weekend so I can eat a normal number calories all the way through Sunday night and not worry about the calories going to fat instead of muscle.
