Diet on OFF days?

[JKurz1]

For example, many will prob. not train tomorrow given the holiday....so how does your diet change? All out pig fest, lower carbs? Free day? Thoughts?

On an off day I like to have something I don't normall y have as part of my daily meal plan.....like a burger with fries, for example or dessert when I normally skip it....

You do this everyday you dont train?

No - I plan a cheat day/meal but the cheat meal or day doesn't necessarily occur on a day I don't train.....

I keep my calories up, the only thing I change of course is no pwo drink. Protein synthesis is elevated for up to 24-36 hrs., and chances are you will be working out again before this time is up. Therefore, for recovery purposes, it only makes sense to stay hypercaloric.

YOU OFF tomorrow too bro? I just feel weird eating so damn much and doing nothing but chilln by the pool, maybe I'll go for a bike ride.

You are still recovering.....

I stick to the "ideal" but the diet definitely changes...

We took a group of kids to Six Flags in Arlington...almost impossible to eat right...couldnt leave the teenagers unattended.

But I found turkey legs...I noshed on them instead of something full simple carbs.
