Refeeds - Mine!
I’ll put up a bit more on refeeds at a later time, but for the time being I wanted to show what my most recent one looked like to give you an idea.
Starting weight Thursday morning - about 213lbs.
My food for day included (I’m just grouping it all together as opposed to breaking it up into meals)
8 egg whites
9 oz of chicken
1 1/2 scoops whey protein
I think that was it for direct protein.
55g oatmeal + 70g berries (non-refeed meal, as I decided to bump it up a day after I’d already eaten Meal 1)
4 toasted Cinnamon-Raisin bagels with low-sugar raspberry jam
6 toasted English Muffins
8 blueberry Nutrigrain bars
5 Breyer’s Ice Cream Sandwiches
1 large container of Black Cherry yogurt
3 1/2 oz sweet potatoes
12 Raspberry fruit bars
1 big bowl of cereal w/ 1% milk
That put me at around 1100g of carbs.
Now, some people have far more elaborate and exciting looking refeeds - which you can find on the Lean Bodies Fitness forum, (Amy would be one good example of someone who probably can put together a pretty wild refeed - keep watching her blog), but I like to keep it simple with minimal planning and preparation.
Today? 220lbs. Looking full and really vascular today. I am expecting a good leg workout today. Refeeds are like rocket fuel.
Now we’ll see how quickly I can drop back down to 213. I’m guessing by Monday, maybe Sunday.

Holy moly…. how can you fit all this in your stomach.
And I thought I could eat, but I’m just a kitten compared to you.

Job well done! I know it was hard but someone had to do it. LOL! I hope your leg workout rocked!

How many calories did finally end up eating with all that?

I’m not sure. I only tracked the carbs.
Probably closing in on 6000 I’d imagine.

:bowdown: Wow you really know how to fit it in! That all looks yummy to me. With that amount of carbs, I think the ideas are limitless. Can’t wait to see what your next refeed brings. I think the berry pie with the “fat-free” crust. :nod:
