I've been playing around with my diet, as I'm 6 weeks out and looking to boost my fat burning process. I'm 8% bodyfat, 165 lbs., 5'9".
Was wondering what your guys' take on having 2 refeeds and 2 low carb days a week would be like?
It's just an idea, but I'm thinking it would be better to have my actual refeed on Saturday, one of my two legs days (the more intense one), where I consume 270g carbs, lower my fat intake a bit, and bring my protein intake to maintenance. Then on Monday, my arms day, my most lagging area on upper body, I could consume 200g carbs, with mildly lower fat than usual, and moderate protein intake (around 1.25g/lb). Keep in mind, my usual macro intake is: 139g carbs, 58g fat, and 227g protein. So, to continue, Thursday would be a low carb day as it already is for me, where my only sources of carbs are from fibrous green vegetables and proteins and fats are increased. From there, I don't know where I'd have my second low carb day.... wednesdays are my back days and that's my strongest bodypart, but going two days in a row low carb without a refeed for another two days is iffy. Any suggestions?
