Alan: How would you handle the refeeds on the diet, any how would you suggest increasing the protein content? I think if I broke down my average day so far I'd be looking at like 20% carbs, 30% fat, 50% protein or something around there. Rough guess.
Also, I'm trying to get 100% compliant but I have this beautiful fruit laying around and I can't stand to let it rot!

See, what you said about having to waste the fruit really gets to me. It reminds me of what pisses me off so much about the quacky, unfounded extremism that pervades the fitness industry. Instead of doing a 5000-cal binge every 14 days, why not omit the bingefest, and eat about 300-400 carb-dominant calories on your training days, fruit included. You'll still eat the same amount of calories (or less) by the end of 2 weeks, but you'll have MUCH better workout performance, recovery, & general health. Not to mention, you won't be wallowing around in the world of disordered eating. I understand that May is right around the corner, so my suggestion to you is to crank up your training output and be more linear with your caloric input, then the adaptations will be closer to ideal.
