Going to Laughlin this weekend and all I hear about is the awesome buffets they have on the cheap! How would you go about conquering this? Will probably be Dinner only Sat night, do I even try to eat healthy or just go for it? Even bother trying to log it? Give me some strategies please!

    Yeah, but look at you! You can probably pig out a few times and still look good. I eat one bad meal and it goes right to my *kitten*! I'll probably still just eat it up though , guys like big butts right ;)

    I'd write it off as a cheat day.

    Would you still try to log it though?

    I think when I go to buffets, there are too many foods to log! Although I just try to have a small sample of the hot foods and fill out on salad and veggies.

    easy for me I hate buffets, all I can think about it all the germs and how many people touch the serving utinsels.

    If you ejoy buffets I would just eat it and not log it, but do not go back muliple time for more and try to get some exercise in beforehand

    Just eat the food. One day won't kill you or change your body.

    Go for it, but be accountable. If you don't feel like logging everything, quick add a reasonably high number of calories to cover it.

    Only if you would get any value out of logging it. Otherwise, what's the point?

    That's just bloat/water retention. It's not actually going straight there. I bet you he picks up the weights and keeps active, and that's why those days don't ruin his progress.

    If you keep at doing things like that, one night of a buffet certainly won't mess you up.

    Although, yeah; I've gotten food poisoning too much from buffets, so...

    ^^^^ what she said....I always try to log it, regardless of what I consume. This way you may be off, but you will know. And next time you are enjoying a buffet you may just realize that half a serving of prime rib or lobster or whatever may be sufficient enough for you to feel full and satisfied and be within a reasonable range of your goal.

    Enjoy your weekend regardless of what you decide to do!!!!

    You could just hit up the seafood buffets. Then again, all the bacteria in those buffets would get to you before the calories would. Hand sanitizer won't do you any good if you are the only person using it. Ex: person picks up serving utensil and then puts it back in the buffet, sometimes placing it IN the food itself therefore contaminating everything it touches. Ew.
