Effects of high carb days while cutting

[KingMike]

If pwo carbs are in place, you are retaining or gaining strength, what is the point of a higher clean carb day?

Energy

Well if you are cutting its always a good idea to have a clean carb refeed day because it refills your muscles and resets your metabolism especially when your feeling lethargic.

If your bulking and are taking in a mod.-high amount of carbs, a refeed day isn't really needed.

If you are cutting and still gaining strength and not feeling tired/lethargic/no energy, you probly don't need a refeed. Wait until your energy drops or your not burning fat.

Hope this helps, good luck man!

Well if your carb cycling Low Carb, Med and High carb etc. its used to refeed or fuel your body again. For the next little cycle.

I am tired before lifting but strength is increasing so I figure I would just not have a high day.

I am currently lifting monday through friday and doing cardio Monday through Saturday with carb only pwo and ppwo, 100 grams total.

If I do eat higher carbs on my rest day (Sunday) I will just eat my six meals but make every one of them oats, that will be about 330 grams of carbs or so becasue I would like to hit maint. calories, around 2600 or so.

Eat carbs before lifting....it will give you energy

it kicks your metabolism up a notch and helps refeed a little extra glycogen. but glycogen will only be refilled fully probably when cutting is completed, and bulking eating ensues.
