How often do you guys have cheat meals?

Gopher · 12-11-2005, 05:47 PM

I've been cutting for almost 5 weeks now and am a flat out bastard to be around sometimes due to the boringness of my diet. Chicken, egg whites, broccoli, etc... I haven't eaten any ****ty food in like 40 days and was planning on having a nice cheat meal at the conclusion of my 6 week cycle.

I've read a couple posts here, however. That seem to indicate people have cheat meals as often as once a week. I don't drink with my friends, go out to eat with anyone, or do anything really but study, hang out with my gf, listen to the hifi, and lift--is my level of dietary commitment a bit extreeme?

i also am a follower of this diet plan, it gives extreme results, but not postive ones, but what the f**k its december so its all good for 1 month to cheat in my eyes ,then in jan. go back to the boring ass diet

serbmarko · 12-12-2005, 12:05 PM

right now im on a see food diet.. I see it, I eat it.. so i cheat approximetely 6 times a day lol

Gopher · 12-12-2005, 12:06 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Bigman, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume your balls out bulking.

Mak, I feel you--I desire to cheat, but I know the guilt that will follow and it typically ****s up the rest of my days nutrion... trying to deprive myself and falling short of my meal goals... I've just been avoiding it all together

Robby, Helluva stretch, bro! I applaud you there. Oh and happy birthday!

q80, cheese cake as in a slice... or A cheese cake. Lol, that was my weakness in high school. When I knew nothing about dieting, but had to make weight for wrestling I used to starve myself all day and eat a slice of cheese cake at night. Heh--if only I'd known then what I know now.

don/philo, somewhere about that sounds a lot more managable. This food burnout is killing me. I think I'm gonna stay clean for the rest of this cycle, and then after my upcomming bulking (clean) session, I'll adopt something a bit more livable.

Rigga, Yeah, I'm dull right now. Between law school, lifting, eating, and my girlfriend I spend all my free time abstaining from lifes guilty pleasures. I even durring cutting my fat content is a little high and I'm gonna change things up a little bit. I'm getting like 75grams of fat a day which sounds ludicrous, but 36 of them are comming from 2 muscle milk shakes I have daily and are allegedly in some form that makes them more readily used as energy then stored--I dunno. I feel guilty at the end of the day when I tally up my macro nutrients/total calories and fat is that high. Next cutting cycle I'm probably gonna skip the muscle milk and look to a cleaner MRP.

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday Gopher! :) Happy eating my friend!

BigmanB · 12-12-2005, 10:52 PM

bad results LOL i am suppose to be getting ready for a wrestling match next month and i have just been lazing around I did roll with a 3rd degree black belt in karate who was talkin **** and kicked the crap out him though lol.

Good advice guys. Its best to keep cheat meals to a minimum on a cut, if they help keep you on track the whole week, fine, but keep it small.

gymnut111 · 01-13-2006, 06:05 PM

I go with every 1-2 weeks as well. I feel your pain Gopher man, TRUST ME. My girlfriend is real thin and can eat anything but she gets mad at me when we go out and I get steak and a baked potato and she gets a burger and fries. Of course, it is pretty motivating the way her friends stare at me in the gym, haha , so you gotta take the good with the bad. Peace
