epic cheatmeal

[The Protagonist]

In a moment of weakness today I decided to go get a milkshake. This turn of events inspired the biggest cheatmeal of my life.


I ended up consuming about 2,000 calories (about how much I take in the entire day for my cutting diet) in the space of an hour. Who the **** eats 2,000 calories in one sitting? I guess I do. 4 chicken sandwiches, 1 carmel cheesecake milkshake, 1 bowl of chocolate oats, 1 piece of cheese cake. And I'm still hungry.

Oh well. Forgive and forget eh? I'm thinking of someone shaking something up to remotivate myself, probably will start ECA stack.

ps: If you noticed this post and my signature are totally contradictory well you're right that's just some **** you're gonna have to figure out for yourself

edit:

the funniest/most interesting part of it all was my thought process. I didn't go out to get a milkshake it was on the back of my mind. I thought hey I'll just get a chicken sandwich and I ended up with a milkshake too. Somehow..

Epic sounds about right.

Sometimes you just can't stop eating. I remember when I was cutting on a 2,500 cal/day plan and when the cheat meal came around...I just couldn't stop eating. My body was trying to even itself out, I ate 2 large extra cheese pizza's from Papa John's and dipped them in ranch sauce (it is good alright) throughout the course of 4 hours. I felt so bloated after, all I could do was crash. Must have been well over 4k calories consumed in a short time.

2,000?

mmmmm... I've done an easy 6,000+ in one sitting.. Probably explains why I used to be 280.. lol

Mine:

order of calamari, edamame and 3 sushi rolls. i shared some with my girlfriend but did most of the eating.. hmm sushi.

your cheat was weaksauce. glad you enjoyed the meal though.

I've done worse.

People who don't care about their looks/diet eat about as much in celebrations, birthdays etc. It isn't that hard, junk food has a lot of calories and isn't very filling (quite the opposite).

I miss the old cheat contest thread where anything under 15k calories was considered weaksauce, lol.

Furthermore, why? Aren't 5-6k calories enough to satisfy anyone? That seems pretty impossible to make up with any amounts of cardio or fasting, considering the person who did it was ecto.

real real weak.. most not even into bodybuilding/nutrition whatever could outdo that easily on thursday, not even remotely thinking about it

and most coming off a show and contest diet could do that 3 meals a day for weeks if they could

[LoveANurse]

that sounds like a challenge...

was that all you ate for the entire day? what else did you eat that day?

[US_Ranger]

Hell, I eat that much in one sitting if I'm hitting a solid refeed. Millet flour and almond meal pancakes with banana and extra dark chocolate adds up really fast....especially when topped with almond butter and whey protein.

2000cals is really weak man. my best cheats are in 5-6k range.

2-3 big sandwiches with half a jar peanut butter and jam
1-2 cartons of milk
1pack oreos and juice
200grams salted nuts

damn dude you're my size too. respect.

can anyone enligten me on this aspect of a refeed and the biology behind it? i'd really appreciate it...Also what effects does a cheatmeal have on my system? I've been good about eating 500-700 cals below my maintenance for a while (2,000-2,100), and suddenly I must of ate 3,000-4,000. What effect does this have on my system? I know it sort of shocks it or something, I'm not really clear on the entire concept though.

wut 2000 calories is a bulking dinner here son not a cheat

15k? Is that really possible? I thought I ate a lot if I went over 5k for a cheat meal. They should enter some eating competitions.

Holy Jeebus...

I thought my cheat meals were BAD... man.. mine are just fine! HOLY Jebus.. i gained 20 lbs just reading this thread... I can't figure out how a stomach could contain ALL that food!

my cheat meal = a papa johns delite garlic chicken pizza (i eat the whole thing). Or nachos and beer. 2k calories easily on the pizza.. But not as much food - just worse food.

[Dracoy]

Sounds like dinner

[WannaBeAthlete]

Sounds like dinner

Pretty much, I'm getting around 6k daily now and spread around 4-6 meals, dinner is always my biggest...I don't even count the macros anymore. I really don't know how people get in 10k+, I'm around my limit right now. 7k and I'm done.

[HerveDuchemin]

And I'm still hungry.

Oh well.

The story of my life.

[WheyAddict]

I eat 1k pre-bed meals on a regular basis so a 2k cheat meal isn't too bad.
