Cheat contest!!!

[Messly1]

Wow Leslie... those desserts look fantastic! I'm really intrigued by the strawberry and white chocolate bread pudding too... bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts, but usually I have a more traditional style with raisins and brandy sauce.

Where did you go on vacation?

EDIT: By the way all, I am leaving this morning for a week long business trip... so no BB.com for me. If you do any challenges, dedicatedforlif, I expect a PM waiting for me when I get back letting me know!

Thanks nacer! i went to Alabama right on the gulf! hope you have a great trip!

This was a cheat weekend for me!

Friday drank a few pints of beer, then soaked it up with some fries and a burger.

Saturday overdid it on sweets (cookies, cake, icecream). It tasted like heaven, but now I am paying the price in a huge way.

Well, I put the word out a few weeks back that I needed suggestions for places to eat in the baltimore and DC areas... no replies except a PM telling me that there is an Olive Garden in Baltimore... LOL, there has to be something better than that! Anyway, there is a gym at the hotel, and my days will be pretty busy, so I don't anticipate too much damage.

When I get back though, I'll have about 3 weeks til an event I want to look great for, so It'll be hardcore til then with regards to diet.

UHHHHH how about...

Alright I finally have something to post here...

Last night I got pretty wasted and after a long night of partying and drinking, I had munchies like crazy....this is what I remember:

Had about 2000 calories of pretty clean food throughout the day before the big night.

First of all, I had about 10-15 drinks so we'll call that 1500 empty calories right there...here's the late night munchies cheat to follow the booze:

2 cups of mini pretzels,
a few nachos with spicey nacho cheese dip (maybe 3 or 4 mouthfulls)
5 peanut butter cookies... http://www.nabisco.com/Brands/Produc...uct=4400001565

From WaWa (minimart):
1 coffee cake muffin... http://www.wawa.com/foodchoices/nutr...e=true&parent=
4 Nutter Butter cookies... http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/P...uct=4400008845
2 mini packs of Fig Newtons.... http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/P...uct=4400000145
1 pineapple pie/turnover type pastry (I'll call it 500 calories...about the same size as a McDonalds Apple Pie)
I ordered a 6" meatball hoagie but was too impatient to wait for it so just left and went home

When I got home:
2 cold slices of dominos pepperoni pizza from a x-large pie
a 6 inch stromboli with lots of ketchup
a spoonful of PB company White Chocolate Wonderful flavored Peanut Butter

Probably around 7,000 calories for the whole day. I didn't lift but I biked 14 miles and did about 20 minutes of pushups and crunches early in the day...was planning on taking the day off but I figured some extra cardio doesnt hurt.

Is this respectable cheating? How many calories in one of your cheat days (open question to the forum)?

[Mickdizzle]

I have been cheating for the last 3 days!!! I normally am lucky to have one cheat a week but my buddy is home on leave from the service and I have not seen him since I left to iraq 2 years ago. He talked me into having a few drinks three days ago and I woke up the next morning just starving so I went and bought a pizza, some ice cream and a bunch of candy. Yesterday was his sisters wedding and there were two kegs there and no one was drinking. I decided to let loose again and we started drinking at 2 pm and closed the bars last night, so 12 hours of drinking (tons of beer, 4 yager bombs, and couple shots of crown royal and hot damn.) I havent drank in 8 months till the other day so that is a ****load of booze for me. I am paying for it this morning, I have the worse headache right now and I am dying for some pizza, I am gonna behave myself though.

[young_squatter]

2 More days until golden corral.

This is my deload week to help me recover so im lifting only 2 days this week. Doing 2000 calories on off days and on workout days having refeeds. Tuesday is golden corral and it will be after 3 low calorie days so its going to be 5000+ calorie cheat, i bet my friend I could eat more then he could so we will see. I might do low calorie monday to make sure I got room to win. I might take a camera for this one .

As expected, I ate the entire pint - and starting to think this might roll into an all out cheat day - haven't eaten anything like that since July 4th so clearly I'm craving more - like a chain restaurant appetizer, meal, then dessert. mmm.

Go find a buffet

[totalrookie]

Go find a buffet

lol its going to take me longer to plan this cheat than itll take me to eat it coz i want it to be exactly what i want haha - im craving really greasy - crappy food so like friendlys or dennys is kind of appealing because i know the portions are huge, but there is something to be said for quality - like a "higher end" chain - houlihans maybe - nice buffalo chicken appetizer - baked potato soup - chicken/steak fajitas, then head over the DQ (all in the mall) - decisions, decisions - suggestions def. welcome.

ive considered red robin, 99, friendlys, dennys, ihop, houlihans, ruby tuesday, applebees, tgi fridays, pizza uno, outback....

not really feeling chinese or indian

I would do dennys if you like a big delicious breakfast. Or Outback steakhouse, place is the bomb.

Ive done outback steakhouse before and then hit up a stone cold creamery. If you got one of those def go there.

[totalrookie]

i love the warrior mentality when get when you are cheating - anyhow let's get this party started

just had

4 oz of lean turkey with some fat free cheese, 16 oz of strawberries, and 100g of oats with almonds, raisins and honey



just a warm-up for tonight's grease meal and dessert

p.s. i can feel the oats stretching my stomach - i ate 100g - props again to dedicatedforlif for downing 1500g - that takes heart

[totalrookie]

aight - i figured i could spend $25 more wisely at a store and for 25.42 - that's precisely what i did - note the onion rings will be dipped in sweet baby ray's bbq sauce, which is not pictured - and i will not eat all that lean beef...prob just 6 oz....but everything else im housing....p.s. i already ate ben and jerrys earlier hence no more ice cream - or else idve had that as well

TONIGHT BBER'S - I CHEAT

^You're gonna eat the new Harry Potter book? Now THAT is bada$$

Reading While Cheating reminds me of when I was a kid and used to have a tupperware of leftover brownies from the fridge on a sunday rainy afternoon and sink into the couch and read all day. Its almost as good as a half day cheat while watching a movie marathon.

Now I come to think of it , these tendencies are similar to those of women , especially after an emotional break up or similar. :|

Your cheating, but you get go lean crunch as your cereal? Man where are the cookie crips

[xl Achilles lx]

I'm doing just this tomorrow. Movies all day w/ my friends...and not a healthy food in sight lol.

[totalrookie]

haha - yeah i ate harry potter but i didnt fully digest it yet (hows that for a lame joke)

and it's weird - i was craving that box of go lean crunch - i use the redi whip with it - its phenominal -

starting with a box of cereal was a bad idea - so far ive eaten the box of cereal and baked potato soup and cooked the hamburger helper--- the helper is in the fridge im recovering a little bit before i head back in - im not as big of an eater as i used to - i wouldnt know coz i never eat like this anymore haha...ill press onward though!

[matthor]

Im wondering, there are some big cheats going on in this thread. But all the guys cheaitng are still lean. So does anyone even gain any fat cheating for a day once a week? lol. I know I cheated on a big buffet yesterday and I woke up and felt and looked leaner.

I am thinking maybe everyone should have a cheat day

Just bumping this ^^ I have a video timeline of myself post cheat from saturday night to monday morning and after fairly low cal/carb yesterday im almost back to normal.

Retention seems to have peaked at around 13hrs PCM (post-cheat meal) though i did wake up dehydrated on sunday morning so the first 3L of water for the day (done fairly quickly) didnt start coming out till like 4pm. Might do one final update later today on it

hang in there dude!

surely there is ways to indulge? what is still allowed? cos there is a lot of tasty healthy things out there, and combos that are excellent

[BlueFenix13S]

Well, I started my day well enough with an omelette (2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites, slice of pepperjack) and some oats w/cherries and SF chocolate syrup. Morning snack was healthy with some cottage cheese, peanut butter, and sliced bananas. Then one of my friends called in tears cause her bf just broke up with her, so of course me being the good guy that I am went over to cheer her up. At some point we both got hungry, and of course she had those emotional food cravings. Here's what we finished off over the past 5 hours:

1 pint Ben & Jerrys Chunky Monkey
1 pint Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chink
1 California Pizza Kitchen BBQ chicken pizza
1 package of TGI Fridays buffalo wings
3 bottles Sam Adams Boston Lager
1/2 bag crispy m&m's
A dozen peanut butter cookies
1 bag of Movie Theater butter popcorn
Bag of twizzlers
1/2 gallon of chocolate milk

The things guys do for women, geez

Unfortunately its pretty ridiculously strict..if its not oatmeal, tuna, chicken, veggies or fruit chances are I can't eat it..at least by the end of this I should be pretty ripped considering I plan to keep the same routine throughout. Plus I can pretty much eat all the food I want and not get fat

What a pal, willing to make a fatass out of yourself for a friend..its touching

[matthor]

^^ lol, pretty impressive dude. A great array of foods too - i would enjoy every single thing there

[siamesedream]

Wow, that food combination sounds incredible enough for me to label it "art". I'm definitely going to keep that one in mind.

CC+whey can be pretty awesome. You can also make healthy pancakes, cookies, muffins if your so inclined - im sure you could convince your mum to whip something up - she is a baker or pastry chef right?
