how many cheat days do you have each week?

>>36413350
None usually. If I fuck up it's usually by going under, I don't like food very much.

Lol who the fuck has cheat days

>>36413350
cheat days are for normies

Considering all I can afford to eat is McDonald's, I guess everyday is 'cheat day.'

>inb4 fat fuck

I exercise and don't drink soda or eat the fries. My dick is probably shrinking though.

>>36413350

Fridays to keep my sanity

Im a uni student on a cut and its st. patricks day tomorrow. Im going on an apartment crawl where I will probably consume my tdee in beer alone. what do? How to mitigate damage?

>>36413399
Don't know how to store it. I sperg out when it comes to meal planning and preparation, which is largely why I'm struggling to make it.

Eventually I just give up and went back to buying pre-maid shit. I don't get how you people can make eating schedules, shit gives me a stress headache.

I have one cheat meal every six weeks. Yes I'm serious get on my level.

I dont have cheat days but I give my self one cheat meal once in a while when im cutting

>crawl starts at 11am
>>36413429
The crawl is only beer, cant take shots. Already paid for a fuckton of beer in the fee to participate

Buy food and prepare/store it once a week for the whole week.
Just eat three or 4 times a day boy

>>36413350
Just like how some people need cheat days to keep their sanity up, i know myself well enough that if i take one, i'll end up wanting another one, and another one

Beer shits are the best shits

>>36413443
Read that fast food intake/grease shrinks your dick, maybe it's bullshit idk.

So, to stop its impact, I don't eat fries or drink soda. Just water coffee or tea typically.

>>36413461
i feel you man I was 60 days strong with totally clean diet then I ate 1 bag of chips and some chocolate everyday for 7 days on top of my clean food but now im back on the wagon eating clean, 3 days clean again

Literally cook 6 chicken breast at once, put them in containers with rice and broccoli and boom, six meals for under $20. If you honestly can't handle that then you're pretty hopeless.

>>36413448
Okay. Let's be real here. One day of binge drinking isn't going to fucking ruin you at all. Just like how one good meal isn't going to make you healthy.
Have fun, anon. I'm working on st patties day till 3am...

>>36413395

honestly just don't worry about it. you're a college student and it's st patricks day. those are some of the most wonderful days, especially if you live in an area where it's just getting nice outside. enjoy.

>>36413475
Maybe the chemicals they put in it (citation needed) does. Grease is just fat, and is harmless for the average person, unless you time travel to 1990.

>>36413431
So you can afford it you're just too retarded to google how to store food?

then don't say you can't afford it say you're a lazy piece of shit.

lol I go to uni in a huge city and do bar crawls a lot too. apartment crawls are better because cheaper and more alcohol. You also dont have to walk 100 miles to a shit hole bar to drink a beer.

fasho.

if you really feel guilty just hit the gym before going out. do a longer lifting session and then add some cardio. that + walking around + being on your feet all day will honestly burn a whole bunch of calories anyway.

At most once a week but I try to keep it every other week...

But sometimes I'll start drinking and it all goes down hill from there

>>36414459
>Do people really have cheat days?

well obviously, did you not read any of the above posts from various people?

>>36414085

Fructose causes your beta cells to overproduce insulin. Couple this with a post workout meal and you get gains. It will also raise your blood sugar, which helps with fatigue.

>>36413385
every time ive tried to have "cheat days" where i still stay at a deficit but with non clean food i always end up putting on like a lb of weight but when its clean i dont gain any excess

Related question: how much weight is it possible to gain in a day. Like, if I were to pig the fuck out and mow down 20000 cal worth of food, how much of it will actually turn into fat?

I don't have cheat days. My genetics make me highly susceptible to gaining fat. I know people who cheat and they claim their body goes back to normal after a few days, for me it doesn't....I gain noticeable fat in the mirror and the scale weight goes up and does not come back down. 1 cheat day can fuck up my weight for 2 weeks or more.

Been lifting 4 years so it's got to do with genetics, not me being sedentary.

>scheduling cheat days
Don't schedule failure, prepare for it.
Unless you're the kind of person who turns down cake at every birthday party, and brings a sack lunch of tuna and a shaker of whey powder to every night out at a restaurant. When it's appropriate, have a rare off-diet meal. They'll come up often enough, and you will indulge. So don't double up with scheduled failure.

One cheat meal, and I drink at least once on the weekend. I try to mitigate the damage of drinking by exercising eating less that day. Works twofold, I have to drink less, and helps mitigate the calories

People who enjoy food.

>>36414527
you can definitely gain over 10lbs if you go hard on a cheat day. most of it will be water,food and shit though

>>36414542
8 scoops in your Ben & Jerry's

Gotta do everything you can, right babe?

>>36414547

>>36414528

I don't do them because they're extremely counter-productive and make me gain unnecessary fat.

Let's put all of those reasons aside....I still wouldn't do them based on the fact they're extremely terrible for your overall health in general regardless of whether you gain fat from them or not.

>>36413395
Don't drink and pickup drunk sluts with ease.

I try to keep it to 1 cheat meal a week but having a social life while cutting is hard so sometimes I have up to four cheat meals a week depending on who I'm seeing or hanging out with.

>>36414552
No, I meant objective bodyfat. Obviously you can get bloated as fuark easily

>>36413395
enjoy it man. once you're in you're late 20's like me, you wish you could have days like this again. just work twice as hard the next day.

>Having a cheat day instead of a cheat meal.

Never gonna make it. No sir, no way.

>>36414540
I feel like I have to drink once a week. After being super disciplined all week, getting smashed once breaks it up and allows me to reset. Do I have a problem?

What do you guys do for cheat meals?

I went from 260lb to 175lb as of today and this was exactly 1 year today (I started on St. Patty's, but leap year). I was down to 173lb at one point.

Today I got a Large Meat Lovers from Pizza Hut, 24 wings (8 Mild, 8 Bourbon BBQ, 8 Cajun), 2 orders of Breadsticks, and their large cookie thing.

I wanted to eat it all, but all I could eat was 3 slices of pizza, 2 breadsticks out of 10, 2 slices of the cookie, and 8 of the wings. I also ate it with ranch.

I think it came out to like 2700-2800 calories and it was the only thing I ate today besides half a burger which that's probably another 400-500 calories. I've also been drinking bunch of beer.

How the hell do people eat 4000+ calories a day?

>>36414584
>having a cheat day instead of a cheat week

Never gonna get big

>>36414590
you should know if you ballooned to 260

Because they get used to it.

>I wanted to eat it all, but all I could eat was...

Same story with me, I've always loved gorging myself on total junk food once a week but it's hard now to not just buy a bag of candy every now and then... It's a waste of money to go out or order all this food that I don't ever end up eating because I can't handle how trashy it is.

>>36414590
You're at 3300 calories with the food. If you drank 6-7 beers your above 4000, related people get over 4000 by drinking their calories

If you're 15%+ bodyfat you shouldn't be doing cheat days. Not even for aesthetic reasons, just for health reasons.

>>36414614
Oh...good point.

I don't do cheat meals very often. It's down to once a month now. I'll sometimes eat a little more than normal, but it's not a cheat day/meal.

I never want to be fat like that again, being fit is more fun.

>>36414622
Yeah I end up throwing food away. I'm going to see how cheap I live off food wise now.

If Cals in vs Cals out doesn't work...then why is it the only time I lose bodyfat or gain muscle when I specifically have a target/macro goal and hit those goals perfectly?

If i just eat "clean" and not track macros/calories, nothing happens. Wheels spin.

If I just eat whatever and not track anything, nothing happens. Wheels spin.

When I actually track everything I make progress, in either muscle gain or fat loss.

From my own personal experience of the last 5 years lifting, I can say for a fact, calories in vs calories out works 100%. If you think it doesn't...you're not doing it right, or just haven't done it long enough to realize it actually is 100% accurate.

>>36413370
Think of them as refeeds. Allows you to cut hard the rest of the week without the risk of binging.

>>36414698
Cheat days
Cheat meals
Refeeds


ALL of these things just make me eventually binge.

I find eating a normal amount of calories everyday better than eating barely anything then feeling like I need a cheat day. Progress is much better that way and I NEVER feel like the need to cheat.

You guys are way too extreme IMO. You might be able to do cheat days and all that fun shit in your 20s, but you're not going to get away with that in your 30s, 40s etc. You best just get use to eating normal amounts of food, not doing extreme dieting which leads you to wanting to cheat.

>>36414587
I do the same thing

>>36413386
buy some tuna, veggies, eggs

>>36413350

1/3 a cheat day, or one every three weeks where I eat more than my usual, but less than my maintenance

>cheat days one or more a week
>making it

pick one.

>>36414719
I limit my cheat days to maintenance.

If I'm bulking 1.5 (Friday dinner and Saturday). If I'm cutting then just Friday or Saturday dinner, depending on what I'm doing.

>>36413350
Everyday is cheat day, I eat big, then I lift.

>>36413350
My cheat day is just eating my maintenance because I'm cutting. My maintenance is 3000 calories, so it's still a decent amount of food. I cut at close to -1000, so tops twice a week I'll eat maintenance. For people saying you lose strength eating at -1000 they just don't know how to hit their protein requirements

I 100% guarantee this isn't shrinking your dick.
