Eating out during a reverse/in between shows
Hey everyone,
I am currently about 2-3 week post show and around 9-10 weeks out of my next competition. My coach is letting me have a free meal, but I am so concerned that whatever I choose to eat is going to blow out my progress and make me gain a lot of fat back and will set off a chain of negative events. She said that she thinks it's the right move for me but I am so nervous.
any tips or ideas on what types of cuisine to choose or go for?

You're 9-10 weeks away, 1 meal isn't going to do you in, go wild.
All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

Um I mean really what ever you like, just use moderation….
Me, eating out during prep is things it’s easy to eye ball macros on or has the nutrition online. Sushi, pho, chipotle. Things generally I’d avoid mystery ingredients that come in large portions/easy to over eat like curry or fried Chinese dishes in sweet sauces. Really what it comes down to is do your research and use moderation
Like if you go to ihop kinda just be aware syrup and butter can add up. If you order regular soda with free refills, it’s easy to drink more calories than you eat.
Also, like if you go to Chinese you can pick steam veggies with shrimp or sweet and sour pork. Obviously, the sweet and sour pork will be a smaller volume of food vs the steamed option. No problem with having it, and during most your prep, you just need to be aware.
I have notice larger volume with lower calories helps a lot of people with prep diets so if your only option at the restaurant you chose is fried chicken and French fries, you might want to chose some where else like kfc vs chick fil a where you can get a salad or fruit with fried chicken
