WHile your carb cycling your slowly depleting yourself of stored glycogen stores. Training your body to feed off its own fat tissue. because of the depletion though your prone to muscle atrophy.

your refeed will restore glycogen levels, and your starving muscle tissue will snatch it right up, swelling them up like balloons.

I'm pretty sure though its a refeed meal not a refeed day. Your last meal of the 3-4 day is a carb up meal where you consume anywhere from 2-3X the carb amount that you would in a normal carb meal. Get a little flexing going on to get the glycogen into your muscles and you'll notice they will swell up and then you start the cycle all over again.

lower fat intake to near trace levels
protein at moderate levels 0.8-1g/lb (higher isnt an issue)
carbs make up the rest and depending on individual factors (size, BF%, duration etc) the size of the surplus.

depending on how many cals u need, avoiding fiber rich foods can be beneficial - bloat. So stuff like bagels, white rice, pasta, cereal etc is good

At the moment, every 6th day is my refeed day.

I'm currently on a refeed day, around 150 grams of carbs now (usually at around 50-60) and I don't feel that bloated thankfully. I'm gonna make chicken in about 2 hours w/ a big side of rolled oats, that should really put me on end.

I'm planning on destroying my body tommorow, hard lifting session in the morning and I'm running the stadium stairs tommorow night, should kick my ass.

I just did a refeed day last night- by urges. I usually don't do refeed days as I usually don't get that urge too often, but last night I was hungry as a wolf. I just won't stop. It was clean, but I had way more carbs than I usually would.

I had to do a crap load of cardio this morning to balance it. Well, I try not to do them, but the important thing is that to realize you are craving carbs and take your mind off it right away.

Should be a meal not a day IMO

There's a big difference between a "refeed" and a "cheat". A refeed meal would do jack ****, and nothing more.
