A refeed day is a planned increase in calorie intake, typically lasting 1-3 days, within a macro-tracking diet. It mainly involves increasing your carbohydrate intake while maintaining protein and fat intake. Unlike cheat days, refeeds are controlled and strategic. The purpose of a refeed is to temporarily boost metabolism, replenish glycogen stores, and provide psychological relief during a calorie deficit. It’s especially beneficial during intense training periods or extended fat loss phases. Refeeds require careful planning to ensure they support your overall fitness goals without derailing progress. When implemented correctly, they can be an effective tool in a long-term macro-based nutrition plan
