Are your calories the same on lifting days?
I guess the title says it all. Do you eat the same total calories on workout days as non-workout days? In other words, do you lower the rest of day's calories to compensate for your PWO shake?
Does it even matter or is weekly average all that matters?

I definitely eat more on gym days... it could be because I'm cutting and need the energy for a good workout.

I'm transitioning back to bulking and realized that the 400 cals (50g protein/50g carb) in my pwo shake is a significant amount of calories and didn't want to over do it(get fat).

I am having to increase as the catabolic state is nothing to shrug too....I love my absence of meals as a joke to the mind's eye...nothing eaten, nothing gained
I have to learn to increase, for the fuel is the most important.
Good luck!

For me, whether its a lifting day or not, I eat the same diet. I concentrate on eating a healthy nutritious and a balanced diet throughout the day.
