Bulking, lower carbs on non lifting days?

[DWlifter]

I do cardio on my non lifting days in the morning after my protein shake.

I am bulking.

Is it ok to lower my carbs my like 30 or 40 because im not lifting? And add some more protein and fat?

[WillWork4Muscle]

If you are bulking you will need carbs on off days just as much as workout days. And lots of them, try to get 2-3g per pound of bodyweight.

Cardio IMO is not considered an off day

[DWlifter]

Well i am going to wake up have a scoop of protein, then go and do my cardio then come home and eat breakfast.


I am bulking.

i know this was probably discussed a million times now but is it ok not to eat anything before cardio, just wake up and go run

Run? No. Walk? Fasted is permissible.

I know you are passionate about cardio Sixpack, but I think it was clear what I meant. By off day I meant off day from weights.
The bottom line for the sake of the original poster is nutrition should not vary any day of the week while bulking, eat up.

I know what ya meant bro , i was just saying some people considering doing cardio only is an off day thus they don't take in the same nutrients as a lifting day which IMO think is wrong

You can still keep a good six-pack, as long as you bulk carefully and don't go too crazy on the calories. Your metabolism has to accustom to a higher-calorie intake first. Slow bulking is the way to go. Aim to gain 1-2lbs a week.

Since you are doing cardio, I would eat as you normally do. If you weren't doing anything, then i would cut calories a little via carbs.
