How often do you consume junk food?

[MickM]

I try not to eat it frequently, maybe now and again. Twice a week I may have chips with my chicken instead of rice, pizza now an again, chocolate maybe once or twice a week but other than that. I still stick within my diet. How about everyone else?

[jimmaay]

i find that cheating once a week can help to keep things moving... nothing crazy but 2 beers and 3 slices of pizza keep me sane

i just load it up with vegges and chicken and get thin crust to keep the carbs low

the best route for chocolate and the rest is to only get those small packages (like the haloween size ones made for a 4 year old)... then if you want some sweets, its less than 100 calories

what a enthralling life I live...

Wow, no cheats ever? Props to u then for will-power. I definately agree with the no alcohol thing, i realized it was holding me back, even tho it was only a cheat once a week. If you must cheat, don't let it bother you, just dust urself off and go back to eating clean. Try not to make a habit of it tho.

i have a HUGE cheat every sunday during the football season... wings/ice cream/DIET pop/and others

[Jordyn]

virtually never.
once a wk i might have some sashimi and white rice, which isnt cheating (just eating out). and i wont measure out the ounces and crap when i eat out. i prob only eat out 2-4x/month.
definitely no alcohol.
no mood to cheat as of late. a couple of months ago i'd eat some junk food, like a couple of pieces of chocolates, once per wk.

[Poel]

once a week I will have a cheat meal

[sartreroquentin]

i guess this is what is preventing me from gaining my goals... my all out brutal cheat days on sundays

[grapemaster]

my cheat is generally alcohol.

[tranceaddict]

yeh unless u are competing there is no reason not to enjoy life sometimes. i save my cheats for social events, and even then its not bad... but i dont stress when im out on the town, just enjoy myself.

[Robbyrh10]

The past 2 months ive consumed some really good cheat meals. Id say at least 2-3 a week. Up until then it was only once a week. Now that im all die hard again, i wont eat junk at all. My cheat meal will be a refeed

[TrueWarrior1]

don't waste your life worrying too much about cheating, probably 1 of my meals every day would be considered a cheat or a little bit of chocolate. a good diet is a diet you can stick to easily.

[quickrob]

Every saturday all day long my wife and I cheat. That includes any and all foods we want. Pizza, chips, wings, burgers, McDonalds, etc etc. Not only does it keep us sane it makes Saturday a day to realllyyyyyyyyy look forward to

[Mia Monster]

Maybe 3 times a year.
Junk just makes me feel really BAD!
I like my engine to Purrrrr!

[daYDreAmErX]

Been cheating since Dec 22nd and I'm planning to stop on Dec 31st.

Eating clean beside that. Family time is not cheating for me or lack of dedication. It's keeping me sane, happy and motivated for the other 50 weeks or so.

[BeastlyBill]

if you keep your diet clean all week one or two cheat meals is absolutley fine but a whole day i think is going too far.

[movingforward]

Maybe once a month now. Before I started dieting I ate pretty normally, like 3 meals a day like Fruit + Yogurt, Lowfat sandwich + sunchips, & chicken and rice for dinner. I would also polish off the night with a beer and down a whole frozen pizza once a week. Despite all of this and doing regular cardio work I ended up gaining weight. though, to be fair, my diet was pretty messed up before. I was eating basically junk food from morning to the time I went to sleep. I wonder why I started to gain weight when I ate healthily though. I went from a steady 183 to 194 lbs in like 2 months despite adding cardio to my lifestyle.

Dude, are you an Olympia Contending Bodybuilder? Yes? No? If not, then enjoy life. A "cheat day" won't freaking kill you. At your young age, it might even do you a little bit of good.

Seriously, endulge....unless you are trying to lose 100lbs in a month or, you are competing in something, enjoy yourself. Live life man!

Good luck!

[Dualz]

More than I should. Maybe 1-2 times a week I'll break down with something, mostly a frozen pizza meal replacement.

of course that is not counting the fact that at least one day of the week I'll forget my lunch(I live 45 mins away from my college) and have to find something half-way healthy to eat from a fast food restaurant in the 10 mins I have between classes

[Luski16]

i try to limit myself to 1 nice cheat meal per week, maybe take my girlfriend out to dinner or possibly go out with some friends or something like that, nothing too major...i save the big cheats for holidays and my birthday

[stepan86]

same here...I never crave junk food, my diet is always healthy but I do eat nuts, ww bread, cereal those kinds of cheat foods

[sartreroquentin]

[james06]

im pretty much going to have a week of cheating when i go skiing with my school but i will try and eat as clean as possible but it will be hard

[Environ]

Approximately never.

Actually, I'll have a treat at Christmas, but that's about it.

[bodyhard]

I eat junk food all the time it doesn’t affect my body, my metabolism is too high.

[v4lu3s]

I really don't have anything I would call a cheat anymore.

Christmas and Thanksgiving I had a piece of pie and a few cookies after dinner. Occasionally I will have a glass of wine. But no candy, no sodas, hell no sugar sweetened treats of any kind. It doesn't really bother me though. I do go out to eat once a week tops, though the stuff I eat do not constitute cheats that much, I mean butter on corn instead of of no butter on corn is hardly a cheat. or a slightly higher fat steak than I would have at home. Thats about it.

[youngster15]

Even though I'm underweight, and nothing I eat even seems to phase me I hardly EVER cheat. I have no motivation to for some reason. I'll eat some strawberries or some almonds or something unplanned and that's pretty much it. On New Years I might have to see if I can get some junk in me though.
