cheat meal ideas

**JRay** · 05-03-2002, 11:34 AM

I was hoping to recieve some feedback on a good weekly cheat meal. Currently my diet consists of about 45% protein, 45% low glycemic carbs (except for 30 g of gatorade after workouts), and 10% or less fat, on a 2200 calorie diet for a 6'4" 192 pound body. I have heard that a cheat meal is needed once a week to keep my body from adjusting to the diet. What would be an ideal meal to throw off the system? Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Stay away from fast food because it's too unhealthy in my eyes. Go put a chinese buffet out of business, or any buffet for that matter. You can see what you're getting, and pick what you like.

is that right? you all think i should throw in a cheat meal per week? Ive been eatin' real well....so change up my eating habits?

**WhitExBoY** · 05-03-2002, 02:56 PM

Sage, do a search on this "Ultimate Combo Cutting Diet" my theory of "cheating" is explained in detail there. Yes, if you're "cutting" then a cheat meal is necessary and ideal (as long as you're still not at like 18% bodyfat) to bump up your metabolism.

yeah instead of eating something with a lot of fat and unhealthy like junk food or something you could eat something healthy that want make you fat like some tuna that way you will have more muscle and look better.

thanks, ive read the articles on that site, i want to have something that tastes good, i've been dieting for 3 months (still with cheat meals) and i need something that tastes good!!!

97LT1, where are ya bud?

**princessbigman** · 06-08-2002, 11:15 AM

i know what ya mean try 7 months with none i was talkin to jray it realy depends on your goals

if your dieting for a contest or something do it clean as possible to further your results

if your guy like me i like my days so i cheat

**Mr Grizzly** · 06-08-2002, 11:17 AM

damn, i give you props for that! now if i really want to look super ripped, i might go like 2.5 weeks without one

my first time dieting though, i didn't know about cheat meals and went like 3 months or so, that was tough **** for me (but you do get used to it after awhile and cheat meals dont even enter your mind if you go long enough without them)

**princessbigman** · 06-08-2002, 11:21 AM

yeah i was so fixated on losing there was no turnin back didnt even enter my mind like you said i was editing that when you posted that last one so i added onto the end

**Mr Grizzly** · 06-08-2002, 11:25 AM

yeah its good to diet hard core, but you also gotta remember to live at least a little, and one meal a week wont screw you up that bad

**deathworthyxxx** · 06-08-2002, 11:48 AM

My cheat meal is usually some pizza, then a jar of peanut butter (Long Live SKIPPY!) w/ a bag of oreos. I usually gain 4-5 lbs overnight doing this, but lose it over the next day. Also remember whenever you cheat then weigh yourself, the weight is mostly water (hence the bloating effect). Just normal living the next day (not stuffing yer face and getting back on the diet) will work it off. I used to do whole cheat DAYS instead of meals, but it was too easy to rack up over 10,000cals.

Also, dont just eat for the sake of eating on cheat day. I remember once eating a whole container of cake icing, just because it was cheat day and 'i could'. Bad idea.

same here, used to do the whole day thing, but it got out of control

still take down a whole pizza and some ice cream on some cheat meals ( only one a week

)

Sorry Bro.
Stay away from chinese food. Too high in sodium and will be harder for you to get back to normal. KFC? That's ok, load up on cornbread, mac and chesse(mmm i'm getting hungry) and "slaw"(My Dad's a Missisippi Boy heh). What else were you thinking about?

**Mr Grizzly** · 06-08-2002, 12:35 PM

thanks for the reply bro, ill prolly go with kfc

not sure what else

ice cream (cookie dough flavor) and a doughnut or two for desert!

How did it go?

took your advice, went to kfc and loaded up on protein and sides, then had some ice cream (went for the low fat options this week, lol)

im starting to get into bulk mode though now, and as strange as it may seem, im going to try not to cheat at all this time bulking

im starting a cycle in about 3-4 weeks and WONT cheat at all then, will be getting up into the 4500 cal. zone in this cycle and most likely wont have any room left to cheat

, i always bulk clean though, and while 'on' diet is very important

so i may be done cheating, for a few months actually

, but i just wont think about it, its not that hard if you dont think about it IMHO

thanks for the concern though buddy, cheat meals are always fun

don't sweat it bro, and especially dont get down on yourself, just KNOW you have the ability to get back on track and stay on track

the worst thing you can do is let it get to you

stay positive
