What carbs to eat on Refeed

[stayhungry]

Curious-What food do you eat on refeeds to carb up with?

Thanks

Awesome

Was thinking of doing cereal, subway sandwhiches, pancakes, bagels, and pasta...sound like good choices?

well that depends...

if you're preparing for a show, ditch the subway...the numbers will not be precise enough. stick to foods you've prepared and weighed yourself.

if you're in the offseason or just leaning up for vanity reasons, you're golden!

Really ditch subway? Are their nutrient facts not right? Yeah I am prepping for a show in March

their nutrient facts are right for specifically weighed portions, which are never spot on when you order... if you were to take the sandwich back, weigh the ingredients yourself, and then calculate the accurate macro's you could do it, but thats way too much work

would you prepare a sandwich for yourself at home w/out weighing any of the ingredients?

The key with a refeed is to keep the fat low, so any carb that isnt mixed with a lot of fat....so the scalloped potatoes are out. But any carb that you like that doesnt mess with your stomach and is easily weighed and calculated (for repeatable results). I would agree with Bwelch....the subway probably isnt the best choice. Just buy your own sub rolls and make your own sandwich where you can be confident in your nutrient totals.

Fettucini with low/no fat sauce (home made)
Whole wheat bagels
Low sugar/fat cereal
Pop tarts

Home made sandwhich
