meal plan help

EricB Posts: 48 Joined: 2002/03/08	2003/04/06, 12:11 PM I follow a steady meal plan for hard gainers monday through friday. I feel that it is a bit much for on the weekends when i do not work out. I usually do cardio saturday or sunday, or sometimes both. I was just wondering if i should follow this plan on those days as well, because i heard the muscles need food even on the days you dont go to the gym. But i feel as if i dont follow the plan exactly how it is on those days, and just eat healthy and a good amount i should be fine. Because it is alot of food, and takes alot of time out of the day. So basically my question is: Is it ok to have a cheat day, as long as you follow a steady nutrition program during the work out days? Thanks alot... Eric
