I have been experiencing with a low carb, sub caloric maintenance level type diet.
For 3 days I stick to a diet which contains roughly 75-100 carbs a day which is very low for me.
Most carbs come from fruits like pears, vegetables, and the scosh 1/2 cup of oatmeal.
On these days I eat between 2500-2800 calories, eating 6 times a day, and filling in the carb gap with healthy fats (nuts, olive oil) while keeping protein adaquate.
On day four I purposely eat a large amount of fast carbs for the first 3 meals. I eat bagels, and white rice, pasta, etc. I try to hit 400-500 carbs, and I do this on a weight training day. My calories go above maintenance level on this day, but only by 300-500.
The question is, does this look right? Are refeeds obsolete? And what do you think about it?
