Hello. :-)
If I am planning to go to such a place, what are the recommendations of what to eat to minimize the fat-gain? I was thinking lean protein (chicken) and grain carbohydrates (like sushi with rice). Also some vegetables to minimize the total calories. Also, to drink some fluids just before to feel more satiated.
I am going for lunch, as breakfast seems too early and leaves a possibility of eating more in the night, and evening meal is too late for the food to properly start moving.
Any thoughts or tips? :-D
Cheers!

When I go to AYCE sushi, all bets are off. I eat what I want and don’t worry about it. I didn’t lose all the weight from one meal, and I’m not going to gain it all back in one meal.
I expect at least a 3 pound swing on the scale the following day from water weight (all the carbs/sodium) and an increased amount of food in transit through my system. It works itself out in a few days.
I just consider it an exercise in real life, where I’m not going to be perfect 100% of the time.15 -

So just eat what you like and dont worry about the gain. Very little will be fat anyway.7 -
Over the years I have learned to handle "normal" buffets (well, sort of) but sushi as much as you can eat? That's another story. Usually I eat about 50 + sushi rolls (pieces) and the restaurant owner doesn't smile much when he sees me coming. I really, really enjoy this special treat about once or twice a year and I leave it as that.0

I wouldn't worry about fat gain from one day. Actual gain happens over time of consistent surplus. I would say maybe don't eat so much that it impairs your workout performance the next day, otherwise, enjoy5

I don't think one meal is sufficient to normalize hormone levels if you're been in a consistent deficit for 10 months.5 -

Maybe a diet break might help? One meal is going to do next to nothing for that.2 -
Hey. Thanks for the replies. Since getting close to my goal weight, I have such days nearly every five days for the last couple of weeks - feel much better but the weight loss reduced from two pounds per week to like 0.50

What are your stats? How much left do you have to lose?1

5 more lbs will put you a hair above underweight. Is there a reason you are aiming so low, especially being a male? What are your goals?4

Yea that is what I have heard too. From my understanding, recomp works best if you have something to work with... so you are at a higher bodyfat % and a healthy weight. Being a very low weight with a very low bodyfat%, you are likely to spin your wheels. If your goal is to be very ultra lean with not a large muscle base, then perhaps it might work.0 -
never mind.1

What would you say are the best things to eat to minimize the fat gain? I was thinking lean protein, followed up by healthy carbohydrates - to begin with salad, eat some meat and finish with grains.0

Don't worry too much about one meal.But if you are doing sushi, focus on sushi that has the least amount of rice (sashimi if it is available), and if you are getting rolls, try to avoid rolls that are tempura (baked) or have cream cheese or a lot of sauces.0
