Apologies in advance if this has already been answered.
How would one differentiate between under recovery by under eating or under recovery by central nervous fatigue?
I have just finished week 3 of a tier 1 blast and am so relieved at having two rest days in a row as I feel physically exhausted. I am aiming to be in a slight deficit but nothing substantial (looking leaner but weight has held this week). I am only looking to drop around 2 kg's over the course of the next 4-6 weeks so am not pushing a severe deficit. Am also utilising a nutrient timing approach as outlined in the book.
Symptoms are simply feeling very physically tired, legs feel like the forces of gravity have increased. Other than that I feel ok mentally, sleep and appetite are fine and the log book took an ass whooping again this week
.
My plan is to blast for a further week while being open to swapping some fats out for carbs on rest day meals if lifts stall at all.
Anybody have any advice/ recommendations as to what they would/have done in this situation?
