During a CKD, I only lift heavy the first 2 days or so after my carb up. Even then I keep it to just enough to prevent muscle loss. After that it's mostly cardio.
Post wo, I just have some protein or tuna. Then a regular meal later. All I can say is this works for me, with no lbm loss.
If something else works for you, well......don't fix it if it isn't broken.
