Man I really went overboard today. 6200 calories (my baseline without exercise is 1900. Can't wait to get back on diet tomorrow morning.

I rarely record my cheat day since it's usually hard to calculate some of the things I eat. Last weekend, I did and was shocked to consume about 3000 calories, twice the amount I usually take in and it was all from garbage! The funny thing is that I was shocked it was only 3000 calories. I totally ate 1.5 boxes of girl scout cookies

Yeah I decided to track it but I still think I shorted it a bit. I'm guessing it was really more like 6500.
I won't be doing on like that again for along time. Just a cheat meal this weekend probably. Likely a large thin crust pizza!0 -
Had my 1st cheat day after going strong for 10 days and I was soooo scared to put that carb in my mouth ! I did enjoy the Italian crusty bread with fresh mozzarella cheese !! Getting back on track this morning was easy . I gained a total of 4 lbs , now to see how long to get them off will take ? not sure if I feel comfortable doing it every 7th day ? would I be doing a bad thing if I cheated every 10th day instead? What have most of you gained on your cheat days?0

Glad to find this thread as it's my cheat day tomorrow and something I've been wondering about. I have been here 1.5 weeks now and the weight is stripping off me. I have been SCD for about 4 months and the first 2 showed little. I'm not sure if recent success is due to calorie counting (1200- with most days under my baseline), or the consistent effort I have made in previous weeks which include cold showers. I am now only 1.2kg away from my goal but don't want to ruin it all tomorrow! Last cheat day I had a normal SCD morning with a carb loaded lunch, sweet treats in the afternoon and a high protein and fat but no carb dinner. I lost 200grams and not far over my baseline calorie wise. Sugar and fat was way off though but since I have altered my macros and adjusted for a 25% carb to 40% protein 35% fat ratio.
Good Luck all!0 -
