Thread: Off day nutrition?

Sorry for all these questions, but I figured let me get them off my chest. My "ripped" 375lb benching chest. jk well not really.. haha

anyways...Today is one of my "off" days. Should I keep my carbs just as high as a workout day? I kinda feel guilty eating 1 cup of oats in the morning, and lots of carbs each meal when I'm not doing anything active to burn anything. I'm on a 3k calorie diet and need to keep the carbs up to get the calories in. On off days I typically up the fats and have 2 servings of 1/4 cup almonds so 1/2 cup total and usually an extra tbsp olive oil.

If you are still getting in your required calories then I don't think it will matter greatly if you have some days lower carb and some days higher carb.

JUST EAT ENOUGH!

Damned straight. People overthink macros a little too much I think. As long as you are getting sufficient amounts of each source of energy, skew the splits any way you want after that.
