off-week-eating.......
hello,
Normally, when I am lifting, i eat 6 or 7 meals a day.
every so often, I take a week off from lifting to relax. I might play basketball or something to stay active a little.
My question is this:
how should i change my eating routine. Since im not burning tons of calories, i figure i shouldnt eat as much. right? but if i only eat 4 meals a day, is this enough to maintain mass. During this week, my only goal is to NOT lose weight.
tell me what you think...

I know the body needs fuel, but i eat a ton when lifting-to grow. I just think 7 meals, without burning many calories, is too excessive.
If i ate like i do now, and didnt lift, i'd be fat like norwegian sea turtle.
thanks for your opinion tho.

I eat as usual through off periods, maybe dropping the carbs a little towards the end of the day. During that rest period you could still be going through some catch up growth spurts.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
