Strategic Carb Refeed Window
A strategic carb refeed window time-boxes higher carbs for twenty-four to forty-eight hours around key training or events—not open-ended high-carb weekends.
A strategic carb refeed window limits higher carbs to roughly twenty-four to forty-eight hours—post depletion or before a race week—instead of random high-carb days that erase adaptation. Windows pair with sleep, hydration, and sodium so water retention does not masquerade as fat gain.
Exit the window back to baseline macros without guilt.
Common questions
-
Will a refeed window ruin fat loss?
Short structured refeeds can improve adherence and training quality; scale may jump from glycogen and water. Judge trend over two weeks, not forty-eight hours.
