For each day of the carb load as a rule of thumb, I would focus on consuming a surplus of maintenance plus 20-25% of total calories. So if one’s maintenance caloric intake is 3000, they would be consuming between 3600 and 3750 calories. One should aim to keep dietary fat very low (40-50 grams), get about 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight and fill in the rest of the calories with starchy carbohydrates. So for a male that weighs 200lbs, his macro nutrient goals would be 200 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat and ~590 grams of carbohydrates for a total of 3600 calories. During this short period of time the incoming carbohydrates will go to refilling muscle glycogen. Make sure that fructose is kept to a minimum, and that most of the carbohydrates come from starchy sources. Fructose fills liver glycogen only, and does not refill muscle glycogen like starchy carbs do. Starchy sources include potatoes, rice, bread, bagels, pasta etc. The extra carbohydrates coupled with a caloric surplus will send “fed” signals to the brain in the form of many different hormones that I won’t discuss in this article. Lyle McDonald has an entire series of articles where he explains these hormones in detail. His six part series on Leptin.
