    protein requirements on rest days

    Do bodybuilders need to consume the same amount of protein on rest days as on training days? If not are there any guidelines for how much they should consume? Do protein requirements change during the dieting phase?

    Keep protein roughly the same..... Only 40g less, as you omit the PWO shake.

    I consume more myself on rest days, considering rest days are when you GROW.
