I'd like to see what people think about calories in vs calories out on a scale longer than 24 hours for cutting or maintaining.
I've been told by a friend who roids that he tracks by the week. It seems to work very very well for him but then i question of it's just the roids.
For example, he was telling me if i fuck up one day and have a good time partying and got 1k cal over from beers or someshit to just eat plain salad and chicken breasts the next day, hit the gym as normal, and make a bigger calorie deficit to compensate.
He did specify meeting daily protein requirements though.
Bro science meme, or truth to his ways?

It's bad. Horrible. Your body is running on not enough energy one day, and losing muscle mass. Next day, it's not as if consuming a huge surplus is goona erase the damage you did, just turn to fat.
The reason he is making progress is roids to build muscle, DNP to remove the fat

You're right, at 12:00 am on the dot your calories reset to 0 and you start from scratch

Total calories does average out over time. But there probably is some truth to the part about keeping your protein up every day.

Your friend speaks truth. However, your energy levels can get all fucked up if you yo yo about too much. Ideally you want to find the regular eating schedule that allows you to perform at your best during training and maintain that day to day. Life happens though. If there is an occasional special occasion where you don't want to be the prissy bitch that "can't eat the pizza, it's not on my diet" then indulge lightly, and make up for it over the next few days. Maintain protein levels regardless.
