Should I try to keep my fat intake down the day after my CN and wait until after I have depleted the carbs I put back in my body and start using fats for energy again before re-introducing a large amount of fat back into my diet? Or, do I just go back to eating fats to trigger my body into fat burning mode again?
I would keep it moderate based upon what you do the next day and how hungry you are as well. It would be good to keep fat moderate at least.
I am a (hopefully) recovering carb addict so I eat my favourite ULC meals. It always starts with sausages, bacon and eggs. I do this because I don't want to feel deprived the next day. I think the mental aspect of this way of living is what will make it a long term lifestyle. Feeling deprived will push most people off the wagon at some point of the game. I know this is about results but without the long term view short term losses mean nothing.
I wouldn't feel deprived eating turkey and/or chicken breast the day after my CN instead of my usual ground beef, pork, and eggs that I ate the day before. I just thought that if I had stopped the fat burning process and switched to burning carbs because of CN, wouldn't I be better off not adding additional fat that would be stored instead of used. It would only be for the one day as I am pretty sure after two early morning workouts I am carb depleted and back to using fat for fuel.
