    What do you eat on your cheat days?

    edited February 23 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
    Hi Comunity,

    Today is cheat day for me: a lot of food and no Gym (the joy of weight gaining). I was wondering what kind of food do you have on your cheat days? I tried to eat a lot of high protein foods: peanut butter, milk, protein shake and bars.

      As long as you hit your protein and fat macros, then eat whatever you feel like after that.

      On my cheats I always went for chili cheese fries and peanut butter pop-tart with rocky road ice cream sandwiches. Yum.

      Why do you need a cheat day if you're bulking? Every day is lots of food day.

      My cheat days on my bulk are the days I let myself go under my goal because I honestly can't face any more food.

      You don't like rocky road ice cream...

      *blink blink*

      I'm outta here.

      Fresh from the toaster they taste like peanut butter cookies to me. I like my pop-tarts reaaaalllly toasted.

      I have started not even trying these new things (Peanut Butter Poptarts, Oreo filling chocolate chip cookies, deep fried cookie dough at the fair). I figure, if I don't try them, I won't know how good they really are (or not).

      As of now, they may not even taste as good as they sound!

      Back on topic though, my cheat days are pizza and ice cream!

      I don't have "cheat days," because I always stay under my weekly goal, but I do eat quite a bit more on weekends than I do on weekdays. And I don't watch my macros at all. If it fits into my weekly calorie limit, it's fair game. That means burgers, pizza, frozen yogurt, french fries, Chinese food...you name it.

      It's not cheating, it's living.

      how does one cheat when bulking?

      That's just making the gainzzzzzzz

      I also don't do cheat days. can't be bothered- I'm a numbers person.


      Okay- that's not entirely true- about once a month we go to all you can eat brazllian steak house- and while I do log a great deal of the food I eat- I know I didn't get all of it- I walk in not having eaten most of the day- and I walk out/// I mean roll out.

      I know between that- whatever AM tiny snack- my glass of wine I had- odds are I"m no where near where I want- but meh. averages. All about the averages.

      so all you can eat steak.. and then all you can eat sushi- I do log- but I know I go over and I don't care.

      AYCE sushi. Perks of living in Vegas. Within reason- sashimi and nigiri, maybe a roll or two to split with my guy, and soup/salad apps. Not something to do on a regular day, but worth splurging for without hating myself after. Usually.

      My cheat days are becoming less frequnt, as my body simply cannot properly digest the same foods that it used to. I recently tried to eat poutine and have a coke with catastrophic results.

      These days, I usually try to have a little "treat" each day, so that I don't throw off my entire week with one day. I tend to do alot of sweets as my treat- chocolate, ice cream, candy.

      Dang. Now I want poutine! Gotta figure out how to get more protein in it though!

      I don't believe in cheat days but when I have the calories to splurge I tend to go for In-N-Out double-double animal style with animal style fries. Yum Or any other really good burger place. Pizza is always a good choice too.

      Cheating when bulking is fasting.

      cheat days on a bulk, isn't that a bit of a oxymoron?

      I'm not really one for cheat days even when cutting, I do regular carb re-feeds when cutting but this is a bit different from a cheat day

      Yesterday was a cheat for me, penne pasta with shrimp in a vodka sauce and mozzarella cheese topped of course... I didnt eat mostof the shrimp which was the healthiest part. The pasta was so good though. Followed that witha godiva cchocolate and a lindt chocolate ball.

      I was about 800 calories over ... which tends to happen when its pasta...

      next time im going to binge on steak... a juicy rib eye, rare...
