So I've been cutting at 10% less than my maintenance for the past 3 weeks. The cravings finally got to me last night and I caved, having a cheat meal last night of approx. 1,728 calories (I know pretty weak). The meal consisted of: Cheesy garlic bread, buffalo wings, calamari, pork sausage, beef ribs, pork ribs, lamb ribs, deep fried chips and to top it all off hazelnut chocolate mousse. Tasted pretty amazing I must admit and I walked out of the restaurant waddling.
The weird thing is this morning I woke up and my stomach was flat as anything. Abs peaking through (currently 13% bf) and generally my abdomen was looking pretty good.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Have a nutritional blowout and wake up looking great?

Perhaps you experienced a "whoosh". Your body flushed out the water your fat cells were holding, in turn allowing you to actually see the fat you've lost.

It's pretty common. I cut down to 170 and didn't gorge in food for 4 months.. On my Bday I decided to eat everything under the sun for one night and woke up the next day at 168.... and looked more cut than ever.
Learning something new here every single day... and I'm still not sure if I understand : /
