Had a refeed / up eating day yesterday where i consumed around 5500kcals - I quite enjoyed it, it was definitely a relief from the extremely low calories of the past week , There is obviously the aftermath on the weigh in but im fully aware its a temporary number and quickly comes down again.
I will wait around 2 or 3 days for all the excess sugar and salt to leave my system as it causes an awful lot of water weight gain. I have around 3 1/2 weeks left until my goal date during that time i'm going to stick to 1000 extra calories on my refeed day probably 2 chocolate bars between my usual meals.
I believe if you go into a free eating / cheat day not realizing how the damage it seems to do on the scales it can really destroy you mentally. I usually eat so much theres is a 5lb gain or more but thats gone within 2 or 3 days. Hence i dont think large refeeds are suitable for some people as they beat themselves up mentally afterwards. It also depends on how quickly you need to reach your goals.
