If you ate too much, do you hit the gym ASAP?

[yadrutas]

Lets say you don't want to gain fat. And you happened to get out of control with your eating. Do you hit the gym right away to try to use the food as fuel and not to accumulate new fat??

[duuuwork]

dont think this is a good habit to get into, next thing you know everytimne you go over your calories you will be hopping on a treadmill adn watching the calorie counter.....just lift balls out everytime you are in there, if you over eat a bit, oh well...just dont do it all the time.

[imadam]

one times not gonna make that much of a difference (ie. cheat meals)

I would go NOWHERE near the gym, if I over ate.

Let your bloat go down and have a good workout from alllllllll those carbs and cals you took in.


Chillax, brahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[dramed]

i take a f*ucking walk to walk it off and pray i dont sht my self

[mystix]

yeah just sit still so it turns into fat.. wait an hour or 2 man this is common sense

[mobikwa]

So you're thinking that after you stuff your belly to bursting you should immediately go and lift heavy/run hard at the gym? You're gonna hurl bro.

[wrkoutfrq]

i don't necessarily hit the gym hard immediately, but i like to be moving, like take a walk or something similar to get things moving and get rid of the nasty bloat that follows

[blazing_hellion]

Any time i over eat that much, I just make sure that i control what i eat beter the next few days and train extra hard to negate the effects. But If your on a controlled calorie diet for a long while, the extra calorie amount in the meal will make your metabolism go higher because it believes i will have to. Kinda the Yo-yo diet idea. =P

I can't imagine how it would make a difference. If you're eating at an overall deficit over a given timespan, the calories from that particular binge will be used somehow and at some time, whether you burn them while the food is still sitting in your stomach or you wait for the excess to be stored as fat.

I would rather have a sleep and wait for it to digest and then go to the gym

Well if fat doesn't turn to muscle, my assumption is the food that is eaten has a window of time that it acts as fuel to turn into muscle, and anything unused becomes fat.

Doing this will breed a very unhealthy relationship with food IMO. It's better to get over it and 'learn your lesson'.

You have zero concept on how the body works dude. That is not how it works....:shakeshead:

This.

When I first started 'dieting' it became unhealthy very quickly. I either a) had to be strict all the time everytime or b) go crazy over cheating c) be strict all the time everytime... but if I'm not, so what, no biggie.

I chose C.

I remember when my friend started dieting (it didn't last, although he is a skinny runt now). His motto? "Eating is for fat people". Oops.

[glockrockin]

man i think you are envisioning that your body absorbs or does its thing immediately. takes time for food to breakdown and travel thru your system. I relax after a big meal and maybe push a little harder next day, but I look at what happened the entire day. Sometimes especially if you've been training hard, its not necessarily bad to go crazy every once in a while (carb cycling/cheat meal)

[ewitte]

I eat AFTER I workout (besides some scivation xtend) so that would be a no.

[yadrutas]

Well, I made an assumption. If it's wrong, instead of being critical, it would help me a lot if you told me how it works.

[AlphaBrass01]

In addition to the fact that this type of thing promotes more unhealthy behavior, there is NO WAY I would have a productive training session after a huge meal.

[IIcovski]

Its not that easy to gain fat dude, if you eat 3500 calories over your maintence you wont wake up with a one pound of fat on you

[heycisco01]

When this happens, I normally cut back on calories for the next 2-3 days to balance it out. It's really no different than calories cycling.

Remember - it's not what you have done in the past, it's what you do going forward.

^^agree with this^^^

Ditto, Binging and exercising can quickly turn into a vicious cycle. THe I exercise therefore I can afford to eat what I see is a nasty trap.

Went to a buffet. Ate 'healthy' though it was more then I needed b/c it was a buffet

Was double motivated to hit the gym that night and glad I went.

I needed the refeed.
