Re: caloric intake on off days
Yes
My rule of thumb is: I eat the same meals but without the PWO shake.

Re: caloric intake on off days
If you're trying to gain mass, of course you're going to need to eat same calories as the days you're working out. The difference in my eyes though, I use carbs in the morning (typically breakfast) and the rest of my meals are protein, fat and vegetable meals. Because I do not see the need of me trying to stuff down 300, 400, 500 or 600 g of carbs on my off day. That may be the amount I require on my training days.
What good are all the carbs when all you may be doing on your off day is light intensity cardio and school/work. Unless you're off days require you to be very active, you do not need the same amount of carbs.That is my point of view, anyway. You make up for the lost calories by adding healthy fats to your meals. It's not that hard, considering fats are twice the calories then carbs are anyway [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Now, if you're an ultra hard gainer, then scrap everything you just read up there and get as much food down as possible, not worry about calories [img]/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
