Whay do you need a cheat day to eat chocolate? it sounds like something is wrong with your diet plan if it needs cheat days to enjoy chocolate.0

cheat days are non existent eat whatever you want in moderation iifym0

I eat to my macro guidelines and still have chocolate everyday....0
-
What are the "correct macros" that make chocolate off-limits?

Some people need a cheat day to keep them on track. In the beginning I had to be all or nothing. Now I am able to factor in treats into my diet but still, sometimes a treat sends me into beast mode and I just eat and eat and eat...0

You posted elsewhere you are following an hypertrophy program. A different program from the one you are psoting here about. The only thing in common is that both programs include more supplements than real food. All I can say is that if you need to eat like 20 different supplement per day to achieve your goals (which are conveniently sold by the site offering the program), something smells fishy. Not to mention that a 3000 calorie program where you need cheat days to eat a piece of chocolate sounds ... fascinating.0

I have chocolate every day now.........0

Cheat day for me is a slippery slope at this point of my path, so I eliminated them (perhaps) for good and let is happen naturally. Meaning, if I really want it, I eat it and adjust. However, my weakness is salty, crunchy snacks. Hmm, just saying it makes my mouth sluuuurp!0

This is me too, not everyone is great at controlling themselves. I find it very difficult to just have a little bit of chocolate, and so I set aside one day a week where I eat my maintenance calories. Some people can be so judgemental.0 -

Following one food regime and a different one for workouts, not taking 20 different supplements or anything else that you're assuming, nothing smells fishy you're just assuming, thanks0 -

So, you are just googling, picking up different things here and there, are trying to follow a bulking fitness plan, while having in your profile a weight loss goal. Then you choose a bodybuilding eating plan which relies on macro balance, you decouple it from the weight lifting plan, you are not replacing with food the nutrients that your eating plan expects you to take in supplements, so the macros are always off and and then adding cheat days, which mean that your whole eating plan is off anyway? Honestly, just save yourself a lot of trouble, and just make things simpler:
Pick a goal, decide if you are doing recomp, weight loss or bulking.
Figure the calories that go with your goal and then choose an exercise plan that supports your goal.
Then pick foods you like to get to your calories and close to your macros.
Simpler, and will actually work.
It does nto sound that cool when discussing it with other newbies in fitness forum, but I am assuming you are hoping for long term results not bragging to other people about your program, right?0 -

I looked at the "Shortcut to Shred" website and it appears to be a plan to build muscle. Is that not bulking?
There are also many supplements that are recommended as part of the plan: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jim-stoppani-six-week-shortcut-to-shred-supplements.html
I counted 33 different doses of the recommended supplements in a given day.0 -

What is this "cheat day" you speak of?0
-
I always leave room for 4-8 Dark Hershey Kisses in my day so I don't usually feel a need to "cheat". If I have had a tremendously long day at work, sometimes I get off track and go over my calories, but I usually stay under enough all week, so it doesn't affect my weekly deficit...
But to me, cheat days don't work for me, because it would mean I can eat things that I have gotten used to NOT eating, and while it tastes good, my body doesn't like it much... For example, I have not had fried foods since February, and last week I ate two fried drumsticks, and my stomach was bothering me for two days...0 -
If by cheat day you mean weekends, then heck yeah! I live for weekends when I can loosen the caloric reigns.0

That's exactly what I do on Sunday's

The clue that I'm not bulking is in the word 'shred' and I can't afford to take all those supplements for one so there's another thing you're wrong in assuming, stop going on now please0 -
