OFFSEASON DIET

I think it's good to take in a large amount of carbs and protein in the off-season. However, I still feel like it's even better if you try to keep your diet fairly clean.

What are your thoughts?

I try to stay clean as much as possible, but I concentrate on trying to add quality size for future competing endeavours.

I eat clean with a cheat meal once or twice a week. Been working great so far.

It's a little different for everyone...Personally, I like to stay about 9% in the off-season. It keeps me happy in regards to the cheat meals I get, but lean enough to drop for a shoot, show, guest posing and so on...some guys need more to build and som stay leaner...trial and error is probably the best method!

For me, I work well when I add in a little more carbs, and have a cheat meal at least once a week. I keep consistant with my cardio and training, so I keep it somewhat tight year round:)
