Cheat Day

[Alphatreedog]

What does your cheat day look like? How many calories or do you just say eff it .
I slammed 3 eggs , hash browns , shit on a shingle on white toast , Chicken Fried Steak an Sausage Gravy for Lunch . Cheesesteak , fries an pizza for dinner topped off with 5 highballs and counting for dinner/night . Oh and a can O Pringles . I will burn at least 4k tomorrow with hit and lifting .
What's your cheat day ?

It's probably got big boobs and some ass.

My ex wife had those any time I left the country, hence why she’s the ex.

When I did all that, it was Krispy Kremes, Mc Donald’s large fries (a couple), root beer floats, In-and-Out Double Doubles, and whatever else I knew I’d need to get in when I could.

Now, I just enjoy everything in moderation, including exercise. Too many years of beating the absolute crap out of myself. Catches up to you.

Cheeseburgers are God’s gift to dudes. If you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

My abs are long gone, but I’m doing okay and am pretty dang content.

back when i was able to train hard….i never had to worry about what i ate. ho-hos, cookies, cake, anything i wanted. only problem i ever had was trying to eat enough to not be hungry. i’d eat sometimes 6 times a day. and when i got hungry, i HAD to eat.

then i had kids, training slowed down, about the same time my metabolism slowed down. these days my joints limit what i can do. shoulders are toast, and the lower back isnt much better. even push ups cause shoulder popping and pain.

my next move is to drop ten pounds…and i dont go real overboard with anything while dropping weight…more of controling how much i eat at each meal more than anything.

I usually ate pretty clean but some days I just needed it. I’d eat 4-7 times a day back then I probably paid the bills at a chicken farm somewhere.

I trained pretty hard when I was younger. Had a couple years where I hit about 1k pushups a day. I am not exaggerating. Thousands of pull ups. Running, swimming, time on the bike, motocross. Did about 1k working dives. Now my body is saying FU! It’s ok. When I look back, I have no regrets. I relate to @myronman3 . My shoulders hurt so bad I can’t do push-ups, I couldn’t do pull-ups if my life depended on it. I am still walking pretty hard and getting back into it after this foot surgery. Like I said, no regrets.

Rock on dude, no regrets

 

[shields shtr]

Ice cream is my weakness. I can destroy a gallon of some type of ice cream no problem. Pizza too.

The cruel thing is that the older you get the more diligent you have to be to keep the lbs off. Then you have to weigh the risk vs reward when it comes to injury and training hard. I seem to have more cheat days the older I get...

 

[Yoteski]

Ice cream in any and all forms.

Lol, beat me to it.

1 piece of cheesecake on Saturday nights. Maybe a one of the big chocolate chip cookies they have here at the chow hall on random nights. The rest of the week I do pretty good on eating with meats/veggies/fruits. I tend to stay away from highly processed carbs most of the time. I might do some pizza every other or every 3rd week at dinner.

 

[Vodoun daVinci]

I rarely cheat but when I do it's pizza. Chicago Deep Dish.

VooDoo

[Clob McStrunk]

French toast and cheeseburgers, usually at different times during the day. Usually.

 

[boomslang]

I’d go way overboard eating anything and everything on cheat days, but as of the first of the year I’ve cut it back to just a cheat meal on the weekends. I’ve dropped 7 lbs and feel better having stopped the “eat everything in sight on cheat day” approach.

Damn, @502Chevelle with 1K push-ups a day. I’m at 400-450 about every other day, but 1K/day is on a whole other level.

dad? is that you?
my old man will eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert if no one is watching him. and i dont mean AFTER breakfast, lunch and dinner……i mean FOR.

….Doc says I got high BP and Crisco . I mean cholesterol….

 

[AngryKoala]

Is cheat day where you put lipstick on your left hand instead of the right hand?

 

[Dolomite_Supafly]

I've lost 80+ pounds in the last year with 60 coming off in the first 4 months. I did it using intermittent fasting and I would cheat at least once a week.

Believe it or not you can eat that shit on Keto .

Sometimes I have a non cheat day, but mostly it’s cheat week

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Let some cream cheese soften to room temperature and add it to these and you have a snack worth eating

[Jigstick]

Usually pizza on my cheat days. And some type of pie.

 

[lariat]

POTATOES. whatever form. When I cheat it goes bad. I hit that shit like an Ethiopian at a buffet.

Pizza would be a second.

 

[The D]

Back in my gym rat days my cheat days consisted of…all of the food

Eggs w/cheese and oatmeal w/ peanut butter & honey for breakfast

The left side of a fast food menu for lunch. And a Diet Coke, of course

Dinner was a whole DiGiorno frozen pizza, a pint of some good ice cream. Washed down with a few good beers

All while snacking on fresh fruit, protein bars, maybe some cheese during the day

Believe it or not you can eat that shit on Keto .

That’s because eating a low carb/high fat diet isn’t bad for you

Let some cream cheese soften to room temperature and add it to these and you have a snack worth eating

That sounds so fucking good. Will try sometime

 

[armorpl8chikn]

After you let it soften, add a tin of this to your cream cheese:

Don't put potted meat in it. Underwood isn't lips and assholes.
I call it redneck pate.
Lifesaver on low carb and keto.
I like it best with celery.

This is another keto snack I discovered recently. Use pork rinds like crackers and spoon this into your face hole. That was a revelation for me

POTATOES.

You just made me think of Au Gratin potatoes from Del Friscos...

 

[BLEE]

My cheat day is the usually one day a week I go out for lunch with the guys. It's whatever looks good on the menu. Otherwise it's a protein drink and fig bar, for breakfast and lunch. Supper is whatever decadence my wife puts on the table. She refuses to cook any other way. Admittedly, I'm usually dizzy all day when I'm sticking to the high protein, less carb diet, but my workout is a modified 5x5 resistance program, along with cardio four days a week. I'll keep it up, as long as I can tolerate the discomfort from arthritis and shoulder spurs. I hurt worse, if I lay off the gym. For now, I'm 5'10", 240lbs at about 12%. I'm 54 and each year gets harder.

And also blasting away at full speed with Handguns and my AK. Accuracy be damned IT HOSE IT TIME!

 

[hlee]

Diet is a lifestyle. No cheat days. They are just giving yourself permission to do something you know you should not, because reasons. Kinda like pointing a gun at your head "because it is unloaded." If you are on a diet that you need to cheat on, you need a new diet...

 

[Familydude]

Volatile. The end results are ugly after a few of those.

I will burn at least 4k tomorrow with hit and lifting .

I'd love to know what kind of HIIT and lifting workout burns 4000 kcal. That's about 5.5 hours at an average power of 200 watts.

Average male diet is 2k a day . 1hr cross fit and 1/2 an hr of HIIT . After burn and the rest of my daily activity puts me at 4k .
Or my math sucks and Um a tard . Alright um a tard but still at 4k .

Agreed on the 2k baseline (can be considerably more for those with significant mass). But 1hr of Crossfit is probably more like 500ish calories, and I could manage to do another 500 kcal during an interval workout on the bike but I'd want to puke afterwards. For the latter, I'd get a much more optimistic estimate by using heart rate instead of actual power, especially if I'm working at normal indoor temperatures where it's likely that an increase in body temperature will cause "cardiac drift" (an increase in heart rate that reflects the body's cooling needs and not an actual increase in metabolic rate). "After burn" is largely a myth invented to make the middle-aged gym cougars feel better about their efforts; a bump in your post-workout heart rate of 10-20 BPM for a few hours doesn't represent any significant increase in baseline metabolism

The bottom line is that you should be conservative with estimation of calorie consumption during workouts.

 

[Alphatreedog]

My personal experience for my metabolism is including after burn . I have personally experienced that sustainable weight loss centers around increasing metabolic rate . Diet , yeah . I find that if I light the furnace it keeps burning .
I dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks . Of that this last week was about 1lb . That's a 3500 calorie deficit .

My wife runs cross country ultra marathons, ran one in November. 34.4 miles through the mountains. She ran for 6 hours 44 minutes. She burned 3,250 calories after almost 7 brutal hours of running mountain terrain. I know she’s just a little female but I think burning 4k takes a monumental effort like that.
