How Do You Do Off Day Nutrition?
Putting together a new bulking diet, and I've been trying to decide if I should switch out my shakes for whole foods on off days, drop my shakes to lower my cals, etc. Wanted to see what everybody does

It depends on what type of diet I'm on. Right now, I'm carb cycling so I try to make my off days no carb days.

On off days if I am able to I will make every meal a whole food meal. I actually tend to eat more on my off days in order to recouperate completely. Depends on how you think of it...if you eat more on your off days you will replenish your body more efficiently and take advantage of the metabolic boost from the day before workout.

I eat the same on off days minus what I have extra for post-workout (bowl of oats).

I eat more calories (mostly fat) to help with recovery, still drink shakes, eat carbs and fruit on off days.

If it's football season then I'll have a few beers and some pizza in addition to my scheduled meal plan. When it's not football season then beer and pizza consumption nearly disappear.
I normally don't do shakes on off days unless I'm in a rush. I'd recommend getting a few more calories on your days off since you're bulking.

I either keep calories the same and on some days I bump the calories up from carbs to help with recovery.

I eat the same on/off for nutrition and recovery...I have always eaten healthy since 7th grade due to wrestling, fitness and now bulking...

I do not adjust anything in my diet. During contest training I eat exactly the same thing for 16 weeks without cutting out anything. Except for the last week of carb load
as far as my regular diet I just do more cardio
a nd whole food is always better if you have the time

*Edit: I am not competing, I'm killing those Fu4k heads..so you may not want to listen to what I say. I'm a bit whacked.
