Which is more important???

[Timastyle]

I was curious as to whether it's more important to get the right food intake on workout days or rest days. I know both is important, but which is MORE important? Thanks.

equally important, on training days to get the fuel for the workout, but on rest days cuz thats when you grow.

I agree with webb...but if it was one meal thats most I say post workout.

Both equally important. Fuel for your workout ....... and fuel for repair. Can't have one without the other. Some people do have more protein and less carbs on non training days tho and keep the cals the same.

Well if you say that post workout is the most important, lemme ask you this...

When I get back home from the gym, I have my creatine and 2 scoops of N-Large 2. Nothing else. Do you think I should put more in my system or not? If so, what would you recommend?

I have full serving of N-Large post.
I focus on my diet on and off days. But since your body recovers during your off days I tend to eat a little more, sometimes an extra meal. But that's just me, also it's important to eat something before bed.

You should eat some slow absortion protein like a stake or any other animal protein but whey to make sure there will be a reasonable amount of free aminoacids "floating" around your system during the next hours. Whey is great for pre workout, but assuming you're going to sleep afterwards it is not the best of choices.
