Cheat Meal / Day?

[Baumer]

How often does everyone go completely off their diet and go with a cheat meal? Or do you go with a whole cheat day where you eat what you want with no consideration?

I usually go with saturday as a more lax day, with dinner being my no care meal, chinese, pizza, etc...

Yeah, I do the same, I try to eat a good breakfast and lunch but them supper is whatever.
I've never been one for deserts but have been eating a lot of Icecream lately.

Just another day in the gutter

Yeah, I try and eat well during the day on sat too, but like i said dinner is a definete cheat! I'm not a big dessert person at all, I enjoy meals much more, especially chinese!!!! That's my favorite!!

I have a cheat meal once a week where I just totally blow it and eat whatever I want, but only for that meal and then back to the ol carrot sticks and celery for snacks..

I think if you deprive yourself of a cheat meal or snacks, however you prefer to do it, you will lapse and fall back to the ol dirty eating habits...

Saturday's are also cheat days for me. I normally eat whatever I want all day long. The next day I get unbelievable pumps and I am extremely strong.

The only thing I do different on Saturday is (sometimes) add an extra meal. I usually consume it after drinking, but sometimes I don't eat anything after drinking.

If there's any day I do decide to bend the rules, it's Sat. I don't bend the rules on any other day, well maybe, but not often.

I am currently in my third cheat week in a row. I feel like a fat pig. I've had huge meals, lots of alcohol, and tons of snacks the last three weeks. I feel like such a lard ass! It's not fault....wedding and honeymoon for two weeks, not I am just trying to get back to reality.

when bulking I don't worry too much about a cheat meal. I will eat a balanced diet through out the day and at the end will eat some icecream or pizza as long as I meet my protein, carb and fat needs for the day .

I usually just have one cheat meal, rather than an entire day. However, I think it's fine having a cheat day to eat whatever you want as long as you are strict the rest of the week.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

Lo lo lo,

I find if you eat something you enjoy (that???s not healthy) only once in a while then you respect foods a lot more.

For example, I eat pretty healthy and I really watch my diet a lot more than I used to. Now I???m noticing that I have more respect and liking for the foods I can???t have all the time, which makes me appreciate them more when I eat them, which creates a more enjoyable time when eating those foods.

I have been trying to better with my diet... but this past week I have gone off the beaten path by snacking on bad stuff, I just had to chocolate and peanut cookies after lunch at work.....Oh God, it is soooooo hard. Just when I start to do better I get a mad craving!!!!! I am doing my best to behave. Me and honey's cheat night is every Saturday night, we have a bad meal... mine used to be everyday, not any more. I am trying to make better decisions in what I choose and get myself away from the bad stuff. Tonight I will be at work (it's cheat night) so it wont really be a cheat, just whatever the chefs make for us, unless its bad. Last night they made gnocchi (which is like this potato pasta- like dumplings) and spicy hot buffalo wings, I felt awful after I ate, but what am I to do????? Sometimes, we can have em make us something else, but there is this one chef I don't like. He acts like whatever they give us is the best crap on earth and is so anal about wasting stuff. What am I supposed to do bring food from home, what if they do make something that is good, or I do get a chance to get something healthier from the kitchen????????????? AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (that was a scream!)

Hey I eat a lot of chinese food and it isn't bad for you if you get the steamed stuff...it's actually rather healthy. I always get steamed chicken and veggies with steamed white rice or occasionally the fried rice.
