Cheat day?

As often as your current diet allows, and you don't deserve anything you disgusting undisciplined fat fucking degenerate.

When I start feeling weak, lethargic and shitty from cutting too hard. Usually twice a month. Also, pigging out on a cheat day is retarded. I just go a little past my planned carb/calorie amounts. Maybe drink two beers and have an extra 500 cal snack.

I always reward myself after a tough workout with junk food (cake, chips, mcdonalds, candy, ice cream).
I did a tough workout and im entitled to eating some junk :)

One bag of chips a week.
I love my chips day, helps me to stay motivated since 4 years.

had a cheat day for the first time in 3 months
felt great carbing and fatting up, cranked out the usual no problem so I threw in 10 miles of cardio.

I work out pretty hard, so when planet fitness gives us pizza or bagels i know I deserve it. I they only let you have 2 also

Feel free to do it.

I eat a little bit of junk food each day (3 cookies).

You shouldn't have that mentality of having a cheat day.

It's only bad.

There's 365 days in a year, let's say you have 36 cheat days where you go over your calorie maintenance by 3000 calories. (2000 maintenance and you eat 5000).

That's 108,000 calories of surplus over only 36 days, which is one cheat day every 10 days. 108,000 calories from 36 days of surplus is 30.85 lbs.

Now if you had that cheat once every 7 days where you go 3000+ calories above maintenance you're looking at 52 pounds of extra fat.

This can be worked off during the week with added cardio, but then you're just sort of maintaining your weight and never getting lean.

If you've been trying to get lean and failing despite being on a perma-cut for ages this is most likely the reason why you're just spinning your wheels despite doing all that lifting and cardio and eating really good for most of the time.

Who the fuck eats 5k calories on cheatdays Jesus if you do you deserve to fail.

Anyway cheat meals are a good thing for your mentality especially if you just started lifting

5k calories is a pretty standard cheat day.

You're probably a skeleton who cries over having to consume more than 2000 calories.

This is why i've always understood it as a cheat meal, not a day. It's much harder to go overboard on a single meal then it is in a full day. Also keeping away from things that leave you leftovers, say ordering a pizza. Where you feel like you have to finish it over the next day or two. Going and getting a meal from Mcdonalds might be 1200 calories (guessing), but thats only 500 over the dinner you were going to have.

Dude, a cheat day means mostly one unhealthy meal (like a bag of Chips), that's absolutely nothing once a week.

>>42195492
every day lol, i'm bulking

>>42195492
man i only eat cheat meals

the whole myth of eating healthy has no substance

it's all about calories in and calories out

lift hard, eat junk food, still look aesthetic


look at bill gates or donald trump, they don't exercise and eat unhealthy, but they live long don't they?
