EAT, EAT, EAT ON YOUR REST DAYS!
There is a common misconception that one must overload his or her body with calories on workout days to ensure proper healing and growth. While it is important to feed your body with sufficient nutrients prior to and after your workout, your body actually induces muscular growth and recovery on your "rest days." Remember that on your workout days you are damaging the muscle.
To ensure proper recovery on the day following your workout, replenish your body with sufficient nutrients.
