My first true high carb day

I find the high carb days the MOST difficult. I find I just can't eat as much as I (and TP) would like me too. Does anybody else have this problem?

You'll learn to love them. :D
 
All this talk about carb cycling has peaked my interest. I went looking for TP's articles at Avant and found them. Are there any printable copies anywhere?
 
there's an option at the bottom of the articles that switches them over to printable versions.
 
Duh, guess I should have scrolled down. Thanks NG

So what is your suggestion?? Just keep on eating?? I'm breathing all heavy and forcing the food down and this is only my 4th meal!!

But you are saying that your body gets used to it, just keep on truckin?
 
Well how much are you eating?

I wonder how much TP ideally wants people to eat, though, I can finish 3-4 cups of oats and 2-3 cups of brown rice in one sitting pretty quickly (and that's after eating the meat, the apple and 2 cups of veggies, I don't wanna think of how much I could eat without the veg). Some people just have monstrous appetites, while others can barely finish a measly cup of oats.

Peace.

Whats your height/weight, out of curiousity? Cuz 4 cups of oats and 2 cups of rice in one sitting is a crapload. :eek:
 
Lets see, about a cup and a half of oats, then a little under 2 cups of rice for 2 meals, then another cup and a half of oats.

Struggled with all 4 meals.

do you up your protein and fat intake on your low carb days, or do you keep them the same throughout, while only changing your carb intake
 
Me?? I keep the protein and fat the same... not sure if you were asking the people who actually know these things or me though...

:D
 
it's to all who want to reply, i was just wonderin what some people do, i kinda do a carb cycle not very drastic though on workout days i do kinda a 45/35/20 to 50/35/15 carb/pro/fat split and on non workout days i go for more of a 40/40/20 split with about 300-400 less calories eaten
 
Rather than start a new thread I'll just add onto this: today was my first refeed day (I don't carb cycle, my carbs stay around 100 for 3 or 4 days and then I go hit the pasta/baked potatoes/bread). I need some support, I've got two meals left and I'm about 150 calories below my usual daily limit and feeling like a pig :). Had my oats in the morning with my shake, then a shake after my WO, then a belgian waffle *drool*, with some strawberry preserves, which I should have probably laid off of but OMG once I had the waffle on my plate it started exerting mind control over my hand, forcing me to scoop more and more all over it. Then a roast beef sandwich (dry, as usual, I don't even like mayo or mustard) and then a bowl of pasta with a bit of vegetarian marinara. When I came home from that (was around 3:30pm) I had to lunge into the bathroom, and even after that was still like 4-5 lbs over what I weighed at 10am. This is gonna go away right? :)
 
You guys have weak refeeds. One waffle, a sandwich and a bowl of pasta with sauce?

To the guy who asked for my height and weight, I'm 5'11", 180 pounds. I didn't mean that I eat ALL of that in one sitting. I can eat 3-4 cups of oats in one sitting OR 2-3 cups of rice in one sitting, easily.

Peace.
 
Well, my usual caloric intake per day is 1700-1800, with only about 90-100g of carbs (this is due to the dining halls here not offering "good" carbs - sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc... ) so yeah for me this was a refeed :)
 
Dude that's not a refeed at all.
With refeeds you're supposed to go WAY over maintenance, not just go a little bit with some high GI carbs. There's a science behind the madness, you know.
And how do you manage to eat 1700-1800 every day? I would go absolutely insane.

Peace.
 
Well, that was earlier. My total for the day is going to be around 2400, with around 250-280g carbs. The refeed thread said 25-50% above what we usually use, right?

And yeah, sometimes it's tough, especially when you consider that in October I was 210ish (5'7) and ate everything in sight (now that I know what foods contain, I'd estimate I was consuming around 3000-4000 cals a day, easy). Man if I could maintain a constant weight at 7000 cals a day, I would the happiest motherfucker alive.
 
You can.
With steroids.
Haha.
I'm just joking.

How much do you weigh? I maintain at close to 2800, and I'm 180 pounds.

Peace.
 
On average, 155. Actually, with all the HIIT/lifting/sports I do, I could probably maintain at 2800.
 
If you're that active, and only eating 1700-1800, I can only imagine how skinny you're gonna be in a month. Are you losing weight a lot faster than you anticipated?

Peace.

Ditto to that....You learn to shovel that stuff in when you know you can't have it for a whole day ;)

Aztec, my protein and fat are kept constant throughout the week. Only my carb intake varies. I'm thinking maybe I should lower my protein intake from 1.5 g/pound to maybe 1.0-1.2 on high carb days, though.

High carb day tomorrow! I'll post what I hope to be new records, I can feel the hunger consuming me already. I've already made my breakfast of 2 cups oats, then hopefully it'll be a kick ass leg workout following that.

Peace.
