I am trying to decide between doing a structured refeed day or just having a cheat meal once a week. From what I understand a refeed is more controlled and focuses on increasing carbs while a cheat meal is just eating whatever you want.
Which one do you guys prefer for fat loss? I like the idea of a refeed because it seems more scientific and helps with training performance. However a cheat meal is much better for my social life on a Saturday night.
If you do refeeds how many extra calories do you add? I am currently in a 500 calorie deficit so I was thinking of eating at maintenance for one day. I would love to hear your experiences with both strategies.
