Protein

Sorry for the uninformative subject!

Im curious: if theres a day or two per week that you don't go to the gym, is it detrimental for progress to leave protein supplements out that day? Also in terms of fatloss, you wouldn't really be missing the extra calories either?? Thanks! 26/f

I eat less carbs in the w.e cause i'm not doing anything. Probably want to keep up the protein intake though since your muscles are still repairing. in saying that though I eat less protein over the w.e too just out of lazyness

That's a big mistake. Just cos you got a day off and feel relaxed your muscles are still crying out for a decent feed. It may not feel like it but you still need to feed them. I know what you mean though, you feel like you don't need too but you should still make sure you have protein with every meal. I'm on the beers right now, day off, but I skulled a huge protein shake before I started drinking.

Yeah! Muscle grows while you rest and recover. Keep that protein intake elevated and make sure you don't cut back on your protein during the weekends or on non training days.
