STOP Week Calories

Postby vrsandersjr on Mon May 25, 2009 5:25 pm

This is the beginning of my 10th week and I plan to STOP next week. When you take a break from working out for a week do you go up to maintenance calories or continue with a calorie deficit? Just curious about what has worked for those of you experienced with MANS.

I think Mark mentions that you should eat maintenance calories during your STOP week. One purpose is to give your body a chance to think everything is "back to normal" and there aren't any stressors before starting up again giving it reasons to adapt.
