I am dieting (i do not compete) and gradually lowering calories, and increasing cardio as needed.
Right now im at 3350 calories per day, 3x40 min steady state cardio per week.
700mg prop/700mg NPP per Week (not running much right now, taking it easy on the gear use).
I always make my daily calorie intake exact (3350), but not macros. I shoot for 200g + protein, 50-80g fat, and the rest are carbs (mostly pre and post workout).
For example today was 214g protein, 481gcarbs, 84g fat
And i have been refeeding/cheating to boost metabolism 1x per week. After a workout I will go to pizza hut and eat 1 large pizza, and 2 sides of cinamin rolls.
When I wake up the next day I usually look lean, and it appears i haven't gained fat. Scale and waist are going down each week slowly.
Do you guys think i need this refeed to speed my metabolism since my overally daily carbs are not that low? Or is it helping retain muscle and keep metabolism from crashing?
