Tmw... Cheat day... Olive Garden..

[Nosoalero]

Tmw is cheat day and I'm going for supper at the olive garden.. I know it is cheat day so are breadsticks an acceptable idea? And if I get past those what is really good there.

If i have a cheat day then all bets are off on what i eat. Usually go to the buffet and eat whatever or all you can eat sushi. But thats me lol

Mmmmm sushi. Ok thanks I just love their breadsticks.. I probably shouldn't go HAM but just one ... Said no one ever. Lol

imo, a cheat day should only be a little bit overboard, not a total binge. Like having snacks you normally wouldn't, maybe eating a slight caloric surplus, but nothing that would undo your hard work. Maybe have stuff you normally wouldn't but in smaller portions.

If it's a scheduled cheat day, have a couple. Every now and then on my cheat meals I eat like total chit and only keep track of my calories to make sure I don't go to crazy and it doesn't affect me much. Moderation is key on cheats.

Lasagna frittata is hang but like dail calories for a normal 160 lb male lol it's like 1800 cals

On your 'cheat day' eat what you want..when you want. Just stay in your calorie needs.

Infact..that's my rule for every day and im still losing fat.

Being that restricted you have to ask if eating a couple of bread sticks is acceptable is pretty bad. Your making dieting harder than it needs to be.

Id say eat plenty of veggies etc but dont be so hard on yourself...I really hate 'clean' and 'cheat' phrases for food.

Just avoid the confusion that some people have with cheat meals/days. It doesn't mean stuff yourself until you are sick...have a few and enjoy yourself....track calories...get back on the wagon immediately.

The one good thing about eating at crappy chain restaurants is that they usually post their nutrition facts online, so you can plan ahead. http://www.olivegarden.com/Menu/Nutrition/

Thanks so much everyone I feel a little less pressure from this. I realize I'm over thinking it and need to chill out and just eat enough to satisfy me for today and not think so hard about it!!!

This. Apricot chicken is OKAY. I think the breadsticks taste like chemical butter slathered on wood, but that's just me. Personally, I'd have a a salad with some grilled chicken and save my "cheat" for a mom and pop place. But to each her own.

I remember the bread sticks tasting a lot better than they do nowadays. Maybe my palate has changed or they've gotten even crappier food quality since.

LMAO, I haven't been to that place in years. When I do a cheat meal I like to get some yummy takeout and then pass out on my couch afterwards watching Netflix. Here's yesterday's feast.

10 bbq chicken wings, buttery garlic bread of the gods, and a pasta dish topped with pizza cheese and meatballs:




Actually went to 2 different pizza shops to get the good wings from one and the good pasta from the other lol. Was an awesome meal.

Epic meal time with aunti ham!

I too like to have my cheat meals at home. Go grab a gourmet 16" pizza and bacon cheese sticks and devour them all! No shame in this house.

This is making my mouth water. Yummm! This is why I hate cutting :/ 2 more weeks until a cheat meal for me.

I'm more a fan of refeeds than cheat days personally.

But why not just work the breadsticks into your macros for the day? Technically you could have as many breadsticks as you like if you account for it in your daily carb allowance.

Either way, enjoy dinner

Haha! With as much as I enjoy bread I'd have to use two weeks worth of carb allowance
