  • 3,500 calories = 1 lb You'd have to eat an extra 3,000 calories to see the effect of your "cheat" meal on the scale.
  • Anything Steve writes sounds like its done for meeeeee!
  • Well I am already at maintenance...woo hoo! So does that change the way I should view cheat day/meal? I don't have any calories to play with unless I exercise. And that sucks!!
  • Wow! Thanks for the quick responses :) This is my first post! Ok, so I'm sold on the rest day being an easy day (I tend to be obsessive too!) . So what about FOOD? I see some of you have cheat days/meals. Does this mean if I save some of my exercise calories each day, I can use them on my off day? I like that idea...I hope…
