off day diets

jmitch1023 Posts: 21 Joined: 2008/05/08	2008/06/03, 09:53 AM hey how are ya'll doing? So I gotta question. I weight train 4 days a week (monday-thursday), doing cardio mon, wed and fri in the mornings. So I end up eating alot 5 days a week. I take in about 3000-3200 calories those days (good cals i should add). But then on saturday and sunday, since those are my rest days, I just dont have the appetite to stomach all that food. what should my goal intake be? oh i probably should add that my weight is 165 and my immediate target is 175 by mid-July. I just dont know if I should eat light those days since I'm not working it off or if I should still try to eat, eat, eat all day. Any suggestions?

I think that'll help to make up for the calorie intake, too. but yeah, thanks again.
