to you guys training the HST

Do you eat more carbs or calories on your training days than on you day offs?

Myself i eat 500 g carbs on monday, wednesday og friday. tuesday and thursday i eat 420 or something

yeah I will usually eat less carbs on nontraining days than on the days that I lift. Except during the 15's.

Not intentionally, but I do end up eating less on training days. I'm just not as hungry compared to days I train. I'm less concerned on how much I eat 24 hours after my workout, except for my last meal before I train again.

Honestly though, the difference in carbs, protein and calories I eat during training days compared to non-training days are most probably not significant.

Only difference on rest days comes from the fact that i dont consume recovery drink..that makes about 400 kcal deficit in my daily intake

generally, the amounts of calories and carbs are the same for me everyday - excluding days I drink

I think the more important thing is focusing not on how much, but when you are taking in the carbs, protein, and calories on your workout day (pre/post WO shakes, with carbs before for NRG)
