⁣
» NOW let’s talk a little about rest days 🤓⁣
⁣
» i used to think that i should not eat as much in rest days bc my body wasn’t burning as much and i wasn’t doing any physical activity - NOT TRUE⁣
⁣
» rest days are actually super important to still eat plenty (yes, carbs included), because the purpose of rest days is to allow your body and muscles to recover & rebuild, bc the body continues to repair muscles for up to 48 hours after training! & in order to rebuild, your muscles need the protein and energy from what you eat!⁣
⁣
» soooo without the nutrients from food, your body won’t be able to do those processes well, so all your work you’re putting in might be slowed down without the proper recovery⁣
⁣
» you might also wonder why you sometimes feel hungrier on rest days. that’s bc exercising can suppress your appetite on days you are active & also your body is just telling you it needs energy for the rebuilding it is doing ⁣
⁣
*** i am not a professional in this area, BUT based on what i have researched & experienced this is what i have learned, & i hope it helps you too :)⁣
