I was wondering, I am in the bulking phase, and normally I don't change my diet on my rest days. But should I cut back a tad on carbs/fats? Since I am resting that day and essentially not using as many calories, wouldnt the extra carbs be converted to unwanted and unneccessary fat? Just curious if I should maybe eat a tad less on these rest days.

thanks for any input.

Nope eat the same amount everyday. Your muscles are growing on rest days and need those nutrients, your also preparing yourself for your next workout.
