refeed

Give more food

Refeed means to feed again, typically after a period of restricted eating.

In nutrition and fitness contexts, a refeed is a planned day of increased calorie intake, especially carbohydrates, during a diet: I'm doing a refeed day to boost my metabolism.

In medical settings, refeeding describes restoring nutrition to malnourished patients, a process requiring careful monitoring to avoid dangerous metabolic shifts.
