[Natural Beast]

I eat a cheat meal once a week. Of course, I look like complete shit, so YMMV.

100% vodka is high octane but I don't believe it qualifies as a cheat meal.

Cheat meals only work when you're lean and have a fast metabolism.

[King Shizzo]

Here is my serious answer. It doesn't really matter if you are natural or not (little easier while juicing) a guy at 8% bodyfat will never see an impact from a cheatmeal (hell, even a cheat day.)

The cheat meal/meals are designed to keep people mentally sane during long stretches of dieting.

The cons of cheat meals, is the guilt that often follows (not to mention the full toilet bowl)

You should feel fuller, and slightly stronger for your workout the next day.

The answer is that a cheat meal/day will not effect your body's composition in the long term. As long as you are strict the rest of the week with nutrition and training.

For quicker results its better if you just run with the diet until where you wanna be. I'm having a cheatmeal right now as we speak but it probably adds up to about 8000cals...don't ever get into the habit of doing that!

Not ready for my GB reveal...yet.

YMMV==your mileage may vary.

I think it really depends on your age and body fat level.  When I was a teenager I could eat like shit every day and still remain trim.  As long as its a reasonable cheat, you should be fine.    People can't live on bread alone..

This guy tries way too hard. It is embarrassing and I'm looking forward to Ron banning him for good this time.

Why do you guys feel the need to stalk me? I am minding my business.

No,you might even be surprised and fill out a little.

[Thin Lizzy]

I've limited my starchy carb intake to one hamburger bun and an order of fries a week.

The rest of the meals, 20 of them, are either chicken/turkey and veggies, or Salmon and veggies.

With this diet, I've found I can maintain 10% even if I have a couple pints of ice cream a week.

And I'm old as sh!t.

i just counted the calories for my first cheat meal tomorrow it has around 4200 kcals is that too much?

It's okay to have cheat meals. What good is having a great body if you can't eat a pizza or have some beer once in awhile?  You will have abs and be the guy standing in the corner of the club with the mean mugging face having a rotten time.

[JasonH]

Nothing wrong with cheat meals - I probably have them about four or five times a week - still like curries, KFC, McDonalds, Burger King etc. Don't have much simple sugars though - tend to stay away from sweets, chocolate, cakes, etc.

I'll give you some good advise.

a good prep is like a box of jigsaw puzzle pieces- it makes no sense to you but your prep guys knows what pieces go where and what the picture will look like in the end.

do not solicit advise from anyone other than your prep guy during your prep. period.
