Food on rest days

[sosso]

How much do you eat on rest days? Do you count your calories, protein etc on these days or do you just eat what you want?

Lately I've been eating almost as much on rest days as I do on workout days. Is it necessary? I usually work out every second day.

as much as on training days minus the the dextrose in my post work out shake. and of course, it's necessary to eat enough and properly if you want to gain muscles.

Eating on rest days is just as important as eating on training days it's just that the timing doesn't need much thought.

I'm the same as Phil and Johan, there's not much difference in my workout and non workout calorie count, I guess just my post workout creatine/carb drink at the moment
