Protein intake on total off daysSay you don't lift between Sunday and Thursday.
You literally don't do **** physically. Do you still need to eat high protein diet (during light cutting phases), or is it ok to eat 25-50% less on say Wednesday and TUesday. -

Re: Protein intake on total off daysAfter 24-48 hours surely its all done and dusted? whats logic for eating more protein 3 days after lifting?(Original post by EonBlueApocalypse)
I'd say it's more important to consume high levels of protein during off-days because it's those days when your muscles are recovering the most and need the most nutrients. -

Keep the macros the same though. If you're going to drop something drop carbs. -
