non workout days

**chest6** · 10-25-2005, 07:01 PM

On nonworkout days, should i have my normal pro/carb meal for #1 and then the rest be pro/fat for the rest of the day?
My usual pro/carb meals come
1. meal before workout
2. pwo nutrition
3. ppwo meal

helpful as always...thanks a lot.

So my meal #7...2 chicken breasts/brown rice should be there even tho I will be consuming this around 11pm-12am

uhhh, yeah it's part of your diet, if you can take it down earlyier, because thats pretty late to be taken down some carbs, just make you PWO a pro/fat meal or shake then have your normale ppwo meal a few hours later

alright how bout this: (cutting diet mind you)

cardio 5 days a week or so
1. 1/2 cup oats
2 scoops whey in water

2. 4 slices turkey (add eggwhites later)
Flax

3. tuna w/ mayo

4. 8 oz brisket
green veggies

5. 6 oz yogurt or 1/2 oats? *changed to pro/carb*
2 scoops whey

6. Workout (I workout really late)
Pwo shake 40g protein 80g dextrose (looking for maltidextrin)

7. 2 chicken breasts *changed to pro/fat*
flax

8. 2 tbsps natty pb
2 scoops whey

is flax 2 times a day too much??
Oh and i removed the brown rice at meal #7 and replaced with flax.

seems good id say no its not too much flax but dont forget u need some sat fat maybe add in some red meat instead of all the chicken for a pro/fat...in meal 5 ditch the yogurt and just have the shake and flax or another lean protein source

I have brisket at meal 4..is that good?

So should I make meal #5 a pro/fat and only have one pro/carb meal a day? Or make 5 oats and whey like #1?

**DNoMac** · 01-06-2006, 01:12 AM

I just wanna bump this because I finally found something on non-training days after looking through about 50 threads.

Carbs before bed is myth, no validity to that at all.

No I'd have more than that for sure, make meals 1 and 2 pro/carb.

Agreed. You DO NOT grow in the gym.....how many times is this said? You grow and repaird for the next 24-40 hours.........why would you want to muscles to sacrifice just because they finallyt have a day to rest....it's sort of like having it be bed time, but you are forced to sleep outside on the sidewalk........

I am of the opinion that off days are times to grow and therefore you need the same, IF NOT MORE, cals than you would on your training days.....

I am bulking, so I do not worry about counting carbs, counting cals, mixing GOOD FATS with GOOD CARBS, etc, so most of my meals are p/f/c with the exception of prebed - usually pro and fats only.......sure I nix the PW shake, but my body could use the day off from the sugar surge anyways....lol

Exactly, also when cutting carbs are important to help fill glycogen and to use insulin to reduce any muscle breakdown.
