Rest days aren't 'off' days for your nutrition \u2014 this is when most of your muscle repair and adaptation actually happens.<\/p>\n
Keep your protein intake consistent even on non-training days, spread across 3-4 meals to support ongoing muscle repair.<\/p>\n
Don't drastically cut carbs on rest days \u2014 they help replenish muscle glycogen that was used up during training, setting you up for your next session.<\/p>\n
Hydration and electrolytes matter here too, especially if you trained hard the day before. A pinch of salt, water and a piece of fruit can go a long way.<\/p>\n
Consider a wellness or recovery-focused supplement \u2014 like omega-3s or a herbal immunity formula \u2014 as part of your rest-day routine to support overall recovery, not just muscle recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
