Thread: meals on non workout days

For me personally...

I find that eating consistant meals (on and off days) promotes the best muscle growth. consuming excess protein and carbs on non-workout days only seems to promote fat storage in my case.

Others my vary.

You should not eat high GI carbs on a regular basis. I suppose a post workout insulin spike is fine a few times per week, but don't go overboard with high GI carbs. If you reduce insulin sensitivity, then you will just have to eat that many more carbs, and therefore be required to sustain higher blood sugar levels, to get the same insulin response.

i eat a cup of raisins post workout with a shake, i was thinkin maybe i should eat only a 1/4 cup (serving size on box) on non workout days, at the same time i would ona workout day.. but i worried about the inconsistancy of my calroric intake (the difference in the two servings would be roughly 400 calroies)
