Help with wifes diet?

My wife is competing in figure Saturday 2 days from now. We are trying to figure out why her trainer has her doing 2 days in a row of carb loading. Is this accurate? I thought is was only 1 day load 2 to 3 days out?

you hired a coach for her? follow the coach's directions

I like to think that but this is his test run. I'm not looking to ruin her for him to experiment. It's a friend husband she was doing him a solid

None of us are the ones that have been monitoring how her body works for the whole prep. Her coach is. I’d trust him more than some random person online.

I use to carb up 3 days, but people respond differently. If he worked with her awhile, he might know what works best for her.

If she’s been with the coach for the whole prep he should already know what she needs and how many carbs she need to look her best. I’ve carb loaded some of my female clients for 3-4 days.

This isnt meant to sound rude...but you had no idea what you are talking about.
There is no rule book for carbing up. Whether you're a figure girl or a SHW in the open class, some people carb up in 1 day and some people need 3. Some people carb up at the beginning of the week, spill a little and dry out. Others slowly ramp up and carb hard toward the end of the week. The fact that you think there is a set of rules or a norm with this lets us know you don't know BBing practices or BBing norms. Therefore, you need to kinda chilll and let the coach do his or her thing.

There are no rules. Every person‘s body is different. Just do what the coach says, and stop looking outside. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, go a different direction next time. This isn’t the Olympia, nor is it the last chance she’s ever going to have to compete. This entire thing is an ongoing experiment that only ends when you either stop competing or stop breathing. I’ve been competing for 30 years and no two preps have been even remotely similar.

if I come across sounding irritated, it’s because there’s nothing more maddening than someone that trusts a coach for 11 to 15 weeks and then questions everything they do the five or six days before competition.

I beleive there should have been transparency as to what she is to be doing, and why in advance. the fact that you are asking here, says alot about the relationship and the willingness to communicate.
