    How often to refeed?

    I've been doing some reading and searching of refeeding but couldn't find how often to do it.

    I am taking in 11 cal per lb?

    How often should I refeed? Should it be one meal or a whole day? How many cal should i take it for that meal/day?

    Thanks guys

    -Jesse

    Try to get that measured. Ideally if you are under10% its every 4th day.

    I dont think Im under 10... im guessing around 12-13..

    the higher the body fat the more often a refeed?

    And should it just be a meal or a day?

    A day. If I where you I would do it maybe every 7th day. Or when you start feeling that you feel lathargic or unfunctional.

    I like short, more intense refeeds.....about 8-9 months to be exact.
