it differs from person to person... i notice a difference in the way i feel and look after a meal high in carbs from bread compared to a meal high in carbs from potatos... as for actual composition...

one should be sufficient

Ok, to clear up some confusion, is the OP asking about a cheat meal or a refeed... I guess i assumed when he said a cheat meal he was refering to an attempt to ramp up leptin levels and metabolism......

id say between 9-11%

unless carbs are really low and your bodyfat percentage is low and youve been without a refeed for weeks

but if you are eating maintenance calories or even over, but are deficient in something, cravings will still occur... so the calorie deficit argument is void there

i get enough from the fruit i do eat... no need to go getting more via table sugar

right, thats what was stated... so the ratio is 50:50, thats the part i wasnt sure on... 50% fructose is still too high for me

its said there are physiological reasons for your body to crave things... its a debated topic but its said that decreases in hormones and chemicals such as seratonin, leptin and drops in blood sugar...

First off, a cheat meal really shouldnt be something you are planning in the first week of your cut... your bodyfat % should determine how often you refeed... the leaner you are, the more often a...

walmart... avoid hydrogenated oils

and dont worry if you arent gaining quick enough and start eating too much... cuz you WILL get fat and the muscle to fat gain ratio is not linear... 20 lbs of LBM is quite a large number and you...

if done correctly, a refeed is NOT a step backwards but rather a leap forwards

like everyone is saying, you need the muscles underneath the fat to be full so that as the fat comes off, the muscles underneath are more asthetic... just a thought on spot reduction though...fat...

i like the naturally more brand... just try to find a brand without the hydrogenated oils

they are probably refering to making the bulk of your carb intake at breakfast, pre-workout and post-workout... while it may be an added plus, hitting your macros is the most important thing.
