Always been curious how others go about this. You always here on off training days drop carbs and total calories. This will help keep insulin sensitivity higher along with body comp in check.
But then you hear the day prior to a training session has more impact than day of training. So example: go from a chest/shoulder session to an off day followed by a leg day your session.
I take in around 600-700g carbs on training days with 100 -125 coming pre, 325 post, and another 100-125 post post.
Off days I typically only take in around 125-150 grams.
Personally, I’ve always kept carbs lower along with total calories on off days. But I find I’m still quite hungry and it more than likely is holding me back some. I do keep the majority of my carb intake on training days around training and on off days keep carbs in at breakfast and then one in the late afternoon.
So just curious how some of you other fellas go about it when going for some added size or strength. Are you keeping everything the same or maybe dropping carbs but increasing fats but keeping calories the same?
Just trying to get some discussion going like we have the training frequency one going rather than gear talk.
