    Usually, my "cheat" days are days when I go out with my friends so it depends on what they want to eat. Lol. I love food and would eat anything they suggest, however, since I've changed my diet, I don't particularly crave anything anymore.

    Cheating when bulking is fasting.
    Pretty much.

    I thought this was the "Gaining weight" section. Why cheat when there is so much you can eat daily. Makes no sense.

    On other days (non cheat days), I am trying to do eat a lot healthy food. On cheat days, I am eating a lot of junk foods. Yesterday I had pizzas, ice cream, cookies and muffins.

    Cheat day on a bulk would mean eating at a deficit IMO.

    I nearly spit out my coffee. You should warn people not to drink before your post...

    Every day is a cheat day for me. I like to squeeze in whatever I can if I have room in my cals for it. Currently it's Wispa Gold.

    Beer. Beer. and Beer. And maybe some whiskey. Not much of a sweet tooth, but I sure do like me a drink :)

    There is no need to label foods healthy and junk. I eat pizza around 3x per week and I eat ice cream every day.

    I really don't think you guys realize which sub section this is. Good luck bulking on chicken and broccoli.

    Indeed.

    I eat ice cream almost every day (even when cutting) pizza only happens once a week for me currently because I never feel full even after one whole pie. :( so I do it because I like it- but it's just not a regular thing.

    But yeah- bulking and trying to stay clean is just like revving your engine when your car's stuck doorhandle high in mud- it just gets you no where fast.

    Steak N' Shake Birthday Cake milkshake.

    I had that for dinner on Wednesday, and it was fantastic. I won't do that again, unless I feel like it in a month or two. That's my version of a "cheat", something of questionable nutritional value and lots of yum. I normally don't do shakes, ever, because they are so high calorie but it was totally worth it. AND it actually didn't mess up my macros OR calories that day though, sugar (which is not a big deal to me) is the only one that went "into the red".

    Most of the time for me a "cheat" is not even a cheat, but a day that I got loads of extra exercise and ate many more calories than usual. My husband and I go on trips frequently that include hiking and/or many hours of walking and we enjoy dining out for massive meals (for us) of bibimbap & sushi, coffee and donuts, or ridiculously piled-high sandwiches. That is not the norm for us at all but it's fun now and then and works out pretty well (calories and scale).

    ^^ I do the same. For instance 2 weekends ago when I went for a 5 mile hike up a mountain and had about 1200 calories extra. It was AWESOME!!! Unfortunately I wasn't very hungry so I didn't eat too many delicious things, but I could have!! In my experience "cheat days' is another word for a day / meal where people / I binge excessively and feel horrible immediately afterward and sometimes in the days after as well. I feel like it's not healthy for me to do that and I don't like it. My husband on the other hand LOVES his "cheat days." :)

    Last night my cheat was 500 calories worth of rum and diet coke. Under my calorie goal for the day but still recovering, haha.

    What is this 'Cheat Day" that you speak of?

    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 have totally had deep fried oreos before at a fair! OMG you only live once.... and even if it took a day off my life.... worth it! haha Deep fried butter is also on my bucket list!

    As for OP's question..... anything I don't have to cook! So obviously that's takeout, usually italian (pizza, calzones etc) but i'll probably never have pasta again it just messes me up too much.

    I'd say Ice cream too but I can figure that in without messing with my macros or cals easily so it's not really a cheat so long as I have portion control.

    Oh and wine but that's every couple of months.

    Frozen Margaritas and Chips,Guac & Queso!...But I always burn extra in the AM to balance the indulgence. I never really cheat if I eat it, I must burn it
