Calorie Bouncing

This is a very good concept, usually called calorie cycling.

What are your stats and goals now? Height, weight, age. Current cal intake?
 
Its just another gimic. The best and most healthy way to eat is constantly and equally. The only thng worth changing is eatting less carbs as the day goes on and more fats.
 
300 calories won't do anything to trick your metabolism. If you looking for your body to guess, try eating consitantly for 1-2 weeks then provide the body with a clean refeed or cheat meal.
 
usually what I see is carb cycling...where calories don't change too much, but you change your macro ratios. such as more carbs on weight training days, and less on rest or cardio days, increasing fats and protein in take to make up for it.

there's plenty of info out there on carb cycling, even seen some for bulking phases...moderate carbs and heavy carbs centered around the days you train weak areas of they physique.

some are good, some are gimmicky...some people respond better to them, others do better on a very consistent macro ratio/calorie intake.
 
I don't think calorie cycling is a gimmick. I have used it with success and have had others use it with success. There is a time and a place.
 
Calorie cycling works against the body's ability to adapt to a constant.

It's a good idea, but I think you're better off cycling by a larger amount.

Another tactic is carb cycling, which in effect is also calorie cycling.
 
Just wanted to add that I believe there is a time and place for this too. Most people do not need to worry about cycling anything other than their legs on the elliptical :)
