Just wondering what your favorite Epic cheat meal is and how often do you eat it?

Being that my body goes full Keto in 3 days, I have a freebirds or chipotle 3 month old baby sized burrito after Leg Day when im most anabolic. Depending on how I feel Ill have a whole medium dominos pizza topped with bacon and ground turkey , Ill have 3 chobani yogurts and 2 scoops of whey right before bed.... i eat this every 5 days.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS EAT?

    This doesn't answer your question but I do have a question for you: how do you know your body is in keto? I honestly don't know so just curious.

    Ketogenic- body is using mainly fats to fuel the workload( and when youre at 60 grams of carbs a day coming oly from fibrous non starch sources, its pretty easy)
    anabolic- when the body is issuing nutrients/ insulin to affected areas to repair and strengthen damaged tissue. not to be confused with protein synthesis

    I am convinced. This is a weight loss site. Not a fitness site at all, the lack of basic building blocks is astounding.

    To assure that your protein is used correctly and promoting anabolism use it when blood insulin levels are soaring high. When insulin is present in high doses the precursors that allow for gluconeogenesis to occur are drastically decreased5.

    Consuming the prescribed type of carbohydrates at the appropriate time mixed with protein creates the optimal anabolic environment. Just as eating protein is not guaranteed that the amino acids will be used to repair muscle tissue; consuming carbohydrates is not a guaranteed reason to feel confident that they will replenish glycogen and proving energy either.

    Athletes must consume their carbohydrates following their training in order to get the blood insulin levels up rather quickly while the metabolic pathway is supporting anabolism3.

    Low blood sugar and low insulin levels cause the secretion of catabolic hormones, which is an unwanted condition for athletes. The post-training time frame calls for and if utilized properly will allow for the restoration of glycogen and blood glucose. It is at this crucial time that the process of reloading nutrients is priority in physiologic terms.

    To take advantage of this precious moment the athlete should have a dose of simple carbohydrates. These carbohydrates should come in the form of a liquid for the ease of digestion. The athlete should consume about 0.5 grams of carbohydrates for every kilogram of their body weight immediately following their training session6

    Because nothing you quoted from bodybuilding.com really matters... Eat your food, hit your macros, and progressively overload. Stop majoring in the minors.

    Not everyone has the same goal as you. Some of us are here to lose weight, not "get swole". Don't act so shocked that not everyone understands what you're talking about

    Some things have to obsessed over..
    Eating like an animal after torching your biggest muscle group makes solid sense to me..

    You could if you want. I don't understand what you're getting at?

    I'm saying all that trash about post workout insulin spike , 6 meals a day, meal timing. really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
