On and off days?

How is your diet when on a cycle, but off from the gym?

I keep all of my meals the same except for pre and post workout, obviously I don't eat as many calories in each of those meals. Normally I will decrease my overall intake by 600-700 calories.

I normally have 3 servings of gatorade, 3 servings of cream of rice for my ppw #1 and #2....quick 180 carbs.....why would my trainer tell me to keep both of those in my meal plan on off days???? dumb?? Also if I train in the eve, would it be best to limit carbs in the pm since I am not training that day?

If you normally train at night and decide to take the night off, replace your normal protein and cabr meal with a protein and fat meal with some veggies. There is no need to load up on carbs before bed unless you are trying to grow a gut. On off days cut out your carbs about 4 hours before bed and switch over to meat, eggs, cottage cheese with almonds, or oils, efa's etc. Those sugars are intended to spike your insulin around training time to shuttle amino acids and glycogen to the working muscle. If there aren't any "muscles working" it will shuttle those sugars into storage if to much is ingested.

I change my macros to 50/25/25 unless I am using tren. On Tren I can eat anything.

Why are yoiu guys eating more on your off days??/ I understand the theory of gaining by eating more but, why wouild you consume more on day you are not at the gym doing any activity?? Seems like you would leave the training days alone and just eat the same on non gym days. you will be burning 500-1000 less calories that day!! So upping your intake on that day would be like consuming 1500-2000 extra calories on your off days//// seems inpractical to me

IMpractical

I agree. I eat more on training days.

Ain't that the truth! In fact even at 36 years old I *have* to pound the carbs in order to add muscle. Pizza and ice cream before bed anyone?

Bulking = stays the same
cutting = carbs end about noon

I keep it near the same. Bodybuilding is at least 75% diet when on and off cycle.
