I have been reading about calorie cycling and macro cycling lately. The idea is to eat more carbs on your training days and more fats on your rest days while keeping protein the same. Does anyone here actually do this?

I am currently eating the same thing every day but I am wondering if I would perform better if I fueled up before my heavy leg days. On my rest days I am not doing much so it makes sense to eat a bit less.

If you do cycle your macros how big is the difference between your high and low days? I am looking for a simple way to implement this without making my meal prep too complicated. I am mostly focused on strength gains right now.
