Work out and food plan on carb refeed days

I'm curious what others eat on refeed days and how it relates to their workout. About once a week I do a tabata (HIIT) workout, alternately every other week between a stationary bike and burpees. On that same day I do a carb refeed, usually sweet potatoes, green banana and or some potatoe starch.

I just try to make sure to eat a bit more carbs on days with heavy exercise. But I don't worry too much about refeeding with carbs since I eat carbs every day. I walk at least 5 miles every day, do Crossfit 3x/week, hot yoga 2x/week and Yin/restorative yoga 1x/week, on the average week of course there are variations. Between that and trying to heal my microbiome and female hormones I have found that VLC is not the way for me.0

Fascinating study suggesting doing carb re-loads in advance (only at breakfast & lunch) for improved fat burning and performance ... http://www.marksdailyapple.com/should-you-sleep-low-to-boost-performance/?awt_l=J1Wtk&awt_m=K1mToJorMhWvYa#axzz43kNsUsuR0
