So today I went over my maintenance, which is 2500, by a about 1500 cals (d'mn that delicious looking b-day cake in my fridge!!!)...I know i know big whooop 1500 calories, but I still wanna make up for it cuz I already had a big cheat day last week so........
......I was thinking I can skip breakfast, have a 150 cal snack before I hit the gym at around 1pm for cardio, have about 600 cals for lunch at 4pm, 150 cal snack before dinner, and for dinner have another 600 cals, for a grand total of 1500 calories for the day.
Is this a good idea considering I will do 40 minutes of cardio on just a 150 cal snack beforehand?

Nothing bad is going to happen just hit your protein intake and cut back on carbs a bit to do so. You had an excess today and a deficit tomorrow by the end of tomorrow it will balance out.Originally Posted by Elpique

Dude honestly I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that really need to "get help" and are struggling with their issues so if you really want to give advice I suggest you go their thread, I can give you the link if you need it.Originally Posted by Cumulonimbus
All I'm trying to do is benefit from other people's experience on how to get to my my ideal body weight and fitness level without abusing your body. If that means I need to "get help" then so do half the people on this forum and I suggest you go tell them the same.
As for me don't worry too much I have plenty of family that will have little problem saying "you need to get help!!" if they believe I am being unhealthy with my body.
Thanks for your "advice" though...Last edited by Elpique; 04-17-2011 at 08:05 AM.

The problem is you're fundamentally wrong with the assumption that having cake on one's birthday will prevent on from having a six pack.Originally Posted by t0mmyb0y

Next time don't have 2000 calories worth of cake. Problem solved. How much f'ing cake is that anyways, the whole damn thing? You share with your family?
Birthday, no birthday, diet, no diet...that's just retarded.

How is asking how to deal with a cheat day (last week for my bday) come off as me saying I think its the end of the world? But then again judging people is so easy when you're behind a screen typing away.Originally Posted by Cumulonimbus

Just get back on track and forget about it. It was only 1500 calories and it was your birthday FFS.

This is why I, and all other IIFYMers get so annoyed by these "I just had a cheat day, oh god!" threads: cheat day ARE stupid.I exercise for myself and no one else.
