I am on a cut right now and I do one refeed day a week where I basically eat a ton of carbs and lower my fat and protein intake and hit my maintance cal intake for the day.
My questions is: I would like to take advantage of my carb refeed day by being able to utilize those carbs that will be stored as glycogen for leg day, and so when should I eat them? In the morning, 2 hrs before I lift legs, or should I make the refeed day the day before legs to allow the carbs to be stored as glycogen? How long does it take for your body to fill up its glycogen stores? Keep in mind, I am eating carbs like pankakes, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, quinoa as my carb sources.
