Nutrition question for off-week

Thrawn78731 Posts: 17 Joined: 2004/02/10	2004/03/04, 10:44 AM I'm about to take an "off-week" soon, and I saw a post where bb1 mentioned that you will grow a lot on your week off...IF your nutrition is right. That being said, what should my diet look like on off-week? Do I keep the protein shakes going? What are the important things to focus on for off-week nutrition?

	2004/03/04, 12:27 PM The post workout whey shake may not be the best choice because of the quick absorption. But if you use a shake or other MRP keep using it. I use cottage cheese instead of the post workout shake but you can use egg, casein, lean meat, fish etc instead. Bottom line is keep up your protein. -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie
