1 more question on refeeds

[dmartin1003]

My diet is like 1700 cals 60g carb a day and on my refeed last week i ate like 350 g carbs protien at 1g/lb and min fat. By late tuesday night i was craving carbs and my energy was low does this mean that i need another refeed or maybe a carb up? Im in the gym every day and i am an elevator mechanic so would it be possible to depleate that fast? or do i just need to eat more carbs on my refeed? I dont know im pretty confused at this point

Typically every 4-5 days you should refeed. It depends on how lean you are. The leaner you are the more frequent refeeds.

i am between 5-6%

In your case I would refeed every 3 or 4th day. The leaner you get the more frequent you should do them.

I had another question out of curiousity about refeeding....Are sugar alcohols okay on a refeed, or should these be kept at a minimum? Though, lol, with bagels and other yummy refeed foods, I don't see why someone would want sugar alcohols.

 

[donescobar2000]

I would exclude those out. Focus on "Real Sugary" foods and less than 50 grams of Fructose.

Waste of space in your stomach. I'd take bagels and pancakes anyday over sugar alcohols.

Besides with sugar alcohols there is usually fat as well and you need to keep fat as low as possible.

I think Fat free, Sugar free ice cream has sugar alcohols Jodi. They're on your list.

 

[donescobar2000]

Not all fat free has sugar alchol.

nope, a lot of fat free version of icecream actually have much more sugar added versues the normal creamier fattier version.
