I have been making a real effort to eat more fruits and vegetables lately. However, I miss consuming large amounts of candy and ice cream. I am dedicating tomorrow to "junk food". No fruits or vegetables will be allowed to enter my mouth until Tuesday.

Anyone care to join me? Feel free to use your own definition of "junk food". The idea is to take a short break from worrying about your nutrition goals and to eat food that you love, but have been making an effort to limit.

Before every jumps on me for eating "unhealthy", you should know that I don't do this often. I track all my calorie and macro targets on a weekly basis. My weight (at goal) has been stable for months as my strength, speed and endurance have all improved.

Below is my current plan. As I eat back my exercise calories, I will make some additions tomorrow to compensate for any lifting/lifting:

Calories, Carbs, Fat, Protein
Arby - Classic Roast Beef Sandwich (From Website), 2 sandwich
720, 70, 28, 46

Culver's - 2 Scoop Caramel Cashew Sundae, 8 oz
960, 104, 52, 17

Twix - 4 to Go, 4 cookie
440, 60, 20, 4

Rockstar - Recovery Energy + Hydration (Lemonade), 16 fl. oz.
20, 2, 0, 0

Totals:
2,140, 236, 100, 67

    Oh shoot, have the day off of healthy eating tomorrow, you deserve a cheat! People over at bodybuilding.com are crazy for junk food but they still look great.

    I had my cheat day at the pizza buffet today so can't afford another one tomorrow! But in my area, Starbucks frapps are half off so I will pick up a Caramel frapp light tomorrow - about 200 cals so not that bad.

    Oh yes, I'll join you. I'll just have to make a quick stop at the grocery store to get my Reeses :)
