When do you have your cheat days and what do you eat?
Usually iskender kebab and a box of jaffa cakes every month.

>>36627719
lol 2016 still having cheat days. Your not going to make it.
>>36628180
You shouldn't have a whole day of gluttony. You're going to ruin all your progress.
>>36628180
A cheat meal is a pizza instead of dinner
A cheat day is your entire day of eating replaced by shit
How does a whole apple pie rank in cheat meal?
3/4 cup of flour
4 tea spoons of butter
1/4 cup of water
2 apples
Tablespoon or two of cinnamon
No added sugar
>>36627719
Garlic bread and danish pastry every friday or so.
>>36627719
chicken nuggets
Mom's blueberry/raspberry cheesecake
I rarely get to eat it now, I should visit more often.
>>36627719
>cheat "meal"
>at least 10k calories
>>36628180
call your weekly maintenance 21000 calories or 3000 a day
you are cutting though at -500 (2500) for that lb a week or 17500
so if you have a heat meal you eat back maybe 1-2000 calories ( a large dominos pepperoni and sausage is 1920 calories, a donut is about 350 calories).
you would do ok with a cheat meal and still see some progress.
But do a cheat day and suddenly eating 6-7000 calories is easy with junk food over the course of a day. Those fat asses with no will power always take it too far.
Or if you really just want to have a cheat day you can only have them once a month, but why would you ant to hinder your progress after you spent all that time suffering?
I have a cheat if I am starting to crack. it could be something simple like a chocolate bar or cheese an crackers, sometimes I have a proper meal, a roast dinner for example. I never have a cheat day when I just eat shit all day.
Every day is cheat day senpai
>>36627719
Never. Why would I? What is the benefit? Why would I purposely eat things that's bad for me, rather than pulling through and doing what's best for my health and body? How can you think it's a good idea to go back to square one and shove your face with disgusting unnatural shit food full of fat and refined sugar and additives, rather than keeping your streak of eating healthy and natural?
I sometimes treat myself to some nuts or fruit at the end of the day when I've kept my calories down. But only when I can fit it into my macros. I never "cheat", there is really no such thing because "cheating" implies you can do something you're not allowed to while not having to suffer the consequences. Better name would be "over eating", call it your "over eating day" instead. You fat sack of shit.

Made a "Gains Shake™" yesterday, was thick as fuck.
>3 eggs
>2 scoops vanilla ice cream
>milk
>2 scoops whey
>2 tablespoons milo
Don't make food on an empty stomach.
>>36629086
You're doing it right. I was 5 days out from the end of my cut but I could tell I couldn't make it, so I had a steak dinner and got back on the bandwagon. I don't understand why people need to go all or nothing with cheat days.
>>36627719
I just go out to a restraunt once a week. I still keep it within my calorie limit, but it does fuck up my macros. Oh and it's cheat MEAL not cheat DAY ffs

this
>>36627719
a couple of steaks usually, still get all my protons but it's better than fucking chicken breast for the 10th time in a row. when i'm cutting if i binge out on junk i feel really shit afterwards.
As long as you hit your calories, why does it matter if you have a cheat day?
>>36627723
remove kebab !!!
>>36627719
Friday/Saturday
Alcohol (liquor only), not food.
>>36627719
I cheat every 14 days on a cut. Don't usually schedule cheat days during bulk/maintainence periods.
Instead of having bullshit like cheat days or meals why not just spread out all of the calories of that meal/day over the week to make each day more enjoyable ?
>>36627719
I eat whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want because I'm not some faggot who lifts for the attention of the weaker sex.
Bitches can call me fat, but I can bench fat bitches.
>>36627719
>cheat days
and some of you faggots complain about your lack of progress..how can you have a goal to improve your fitness and appearance but directly contradict it by consuming foods that will make the goal more difficult
you fucking idiots make no sense. ENJOY UR NO GAINZ RETARDS
>Im sure this large pizza will have no effect right guys??
Don't do days, just one meal.
I had one after six weeks, In-n-Out and a pint of Ben& Jerrys Cookies n' Cream. So damn good.
Probably have another in 3 weeks or so.
lmao, i bet all the faggots in here talking shit are ottermode twink types
"clean" eating is a meme, as long as you get your proteins and stay in a deficit, you will lose fat and keep muscle if you continue to lift and maintain most of your strength

>>36633530
the problem, for me at least, is it's impossible to be satisfied on a cut when you play the IIFYM game.
If I clean eat, I can have enough chicken, rice, veggies, beans ect. and have the satisfied feeling of being well fed
Some hot chips, or mashed potatoes in a meal. I try to stay eithin my cal limit but load those carbs on like a motherfucker
>>36633551
>what are micros and macros?
You're fucking stupid.
ben and jerrys and pizza once a week
>>36633618
>still hasn't presented an argument for why IIFYM doesn't work because it does
>queue ad hominem
>>36633635
cause you feel like shit, and constantly hungry
it's better to set-up a cheat meal every 2 weeks, and go balls to the wall, instead of trying to eat this shit every day
>>36627719
today i cooked this
>>36627818
Being this autistic, never gonna be happy
I don't have a cheat day but I do allow myself a weekend treat now and then.
>>36633687
why? it's already cooked.
>>36633782
fuck you, anon.
>>36633558
This is my beef with IIFYM. I eat clean 90% of the time or more if you count shakes as clean. I consider myself IIFYM only because I have no problem grabbing a burger if I'm out with friends or having the odd beer and not trying to justify it with maymay language. I just log it, hit the cardio a little harder, and move on.
>>36627719
Today is my cheat day for the month.
>Breakfast
local doughnut shop
>Lunch
In'n'Out with fries and a soda
>Dinner
Homemade chinese food and a soda
>Dessert
Froyo with all the goodies.
And it especially helps that I managed to lose 10 pounds last month. Fuck yes.

why have a cheat day though? doent it just make you feel guilty and like shit? i have no problems with cheat meals but i always aim to eat pretty clean and still drink tons of water if im going to have a cheat meal
>>36627818
why does everyone talk down on cheat days and prefer cheat meals?
If I eat 2-3 boxes of donuts in one sitting (cheat meal) isnt it as shit as spreading it ?
>>36633869

Sometimes I have carne asada burritos but they have like 35g of protein so fuck you
>>36634511
I know dude, I just really like tastees
I eat 1400 calories a day but on sundays I eat whatever I want
Usually popeyes with extra sides for dinner and a big breakfast from mcdonalds for breakfast
Keeps me sane
>>36627719
I have about 2 cheat days a month. Well, it's more of a cheat meal, I usually eat breakfast normally, but eat a pizza later, and drink some whey to it. I don't think it's that bad. I have no idea what are the macos of the pizzas I eat, but I don't think they'd be that far from my goal after filling my protein with the shake.
Probably gonna have to stop with those altogether once I start cutting next month, though.
Why are cheat days once a week bad if I used to do cheat days 7 days a week up until a month ago?
>>36634669
Because you can do better, anon.
>>36634446
you sound like a fat phaggot how can you say "nice bro" to his cheat day
>>36628714
God awful dude, apple pie is the worst pie and I'm saying that as an American
Top 3: pumpkin pie, pecan pie, key lime pie
>>36629250
If you can only "treat" yourself to nuts or fruit when they fit your macros, you must have horribly poverty macros.
And I don't do cheat "days," I refeed 1x/week at 3600-4000 calories (maintenance to slightly above), high carb moderate protein/fat.
Every now and then when a significant event calls for it (like Easter dinner last week) I don't track and just enjoy food.

Every Friday because I fast Saturday up to Sunday evening. I fast because according to broscientists fasting triggers a release of natty HGH.

You sound like a bitter autist who goes to a "describe your cheat day" thread and gets annoyed at people when they describe and give feedback to cheat days...
>>36633530
"Clean eating" is the only way I can feel satisfied with a deficit. I can feel ok on 1300 cals of whole food properly prepared in a day. I can eat 1300 cals of mac and cheese with bacon in 5 min and come back for seconds.

I also smoke marijuana once a week, guess which day.
>>36627719
I donate platelets about once a month. My cheat meal is whatever they have in the snack room.
>>36627719
I cheat like once every couple weeks. I consider maintance cheating while im cutting so its not doing me any harm really, its just one less day im at a deficit.
>>36627719

Cheat days imo are good when bulking. Matter of fact everyday is cheat day on a bulk. Just as long as you hit your macros first.
I don't cheat on my cutting diet. Once I get where I wanna be I'll goto maintenance and the one cheat meal per week is what I'll get. I'll make the meals count trust me.

Surprisingly I find it harder to cut during football season in Louisiana. Crawfish boils aren't too frequent even in Lafeyette, and its a lot harder to eat 1000 calories of crawfish than 1000 calories in burgers and sausage and ribs.
I had a max roast beef sandwich from Arby's as part of my lunch the other day.
Though I still was able to meet my daily calorie limit by eating well the rest of that day.

Also, since I sold my gaming setup I've felt very bored. I have replaced gaming with sleep, but I really wanna bulk up and keep up with 5x5. The common knowledge in 5x5 is that if you do more than the workouts planned, you'll probably lose that strength you could have doing your primary workouts. But I wanna work out like 2-3hrs a day, to get big like bear, big like bane. Banemode ideally. Could I lift more, or?
149lbs
5'9"
still got some form leftover from marines.
>>36640511
Do cardio and just compensate by doing more, maybe?
Also, when I was doing 5x5 it would take me about to hours to complete the workout and the next day I would be completely devoid of energy.
>>36640526
compensate by *eating* more ... typo

I could probably do that. My required intake is ~2700/day and I've been eating like maybe one meal a day. My food budget is $50 monthly
>>36636160
you know how one should live
I had one cheat meal five weeks ago, on the night that I finally cut it off with my gf and finished moving my shit out. A pizza and several rums.
Not horrendous, considering it's the only one in like eight-plus weeks.
>>36627719
I don't have cheat days while cutting, only "re-feed" days where once every week or two I'll eat maintenance or maybe 10-25% above maintenance. This is only if my glycogen is nonexistent and i feel terrible. It's too easy to undo several weeks of difficult progress with an "epic cheat meal" ie giving up all self control

No one actually does it this way you autistic sperglords.
Cheat day implies a cheat meal, that's all.
My cheat days are my drinkings days. I don't eat different most of the time, maybe once in the so many months I'll eat a kapsalon in seconds. I just call cheat day drinking day
