Cheat days, cheat meals
Cheat days, cheat meals
I'm usually pretty good with weekdays when it comes to eating right for cutting, but I don't follow my eating schedule during the weekend. I was wondering what you guys do during your days off. Do you guys have cheat meals or whole entire cheat days? During your cheats, do you still sorta watch out what you eat?
Thanks!
Yeah, I diet every single day with no cheat meals even on rest days. I went for over 3 months without a single cheat meal until my birthday where I just pigged out. I went back on the wagon (off the wagon? on the wagon? which one is it?) the next day though.
Massive gorgefest cheat once a week does the trick for me
One meal, once a week, and I don't go to crazy. Usually some sort of burrito or something and then some low sugar/low fat soft serve with reese's pb cups. I try to keep the portions small even though the food is pretty crappy. Yeah, its really just all about the reeses pb cups, haha.
Think about cumulative calories in and out. If you eat in a calorie defecit for 6 days, say 300 cals under maintenance, workout cardio 4 days burning 400 a session thats 3400 cals for mon thru sat. If you eat crap all day on the seventh day and go 1500 or 2000 or dare i say 3000 cals over your maintenance then you just wasted a week of eating good. if your goal is bodyfat/weight reduction I would keep an eye on the all day binging, then again everybody has different metabolisms and if you are training balls to the wall 5-6 days a week you have made some room for such a day. I just think going overboard defeats the purpose of what your doing,and makes the process take longer, imo.
I eat whatever I want from Saturday night to Sunday night...besides Soda, I still drink water, diet soda or BEER, lol. But I eat whatever I want, but I dont stuff myself until I cant move either.
You will be fine as long as you are super clean the rest of the week.
You only live once bro.
I find it hard to stay clean on weekends. Usually end up having steaks for lunch and dinner. Maybe a pizza once in a while. Don't wanna feel tortured at such a young age.
