Favorite Cheat Meal?

[Ironone]

Alright, time to get dirty, what is your favorite junk to eat that won't make you feel guilty in the morning. For me its chicken chalupas at taco bell, I can only justify this because it has chicken in it. So what about you guys? What's your favorite cheat meal?

[xb24]

I've found a liking to lowfat swedish meatballs. They contain a few sugary carbs with the sauce i use but still not too bad for ya.

[marathe]

1% cottage cheese with cocoa bean protein and natural peanut butter mixed in. I know its not junk food but its seriously better than any ice cream/frozen yogurt/shite that the general public shovels down their holes.

[Ironone]

People, this isn't junk food, I said get dirty!!!

[Jester]

Since I am in a bulking stage right now my diet isnt strict as to not eat anything unhealthy but when I am running low on carbs or there is nothing left in the freaking freezer except crap food.. I will hit up a box of Hot Pockets, or if I need an instant energy rush I will eat like a small candy bar of like straight chocolate... Most of the time I will dig into a couple PB&J sandwiches because it has sugar in it but I try and stict pretty strict to book when bulking and cutting.. regardless.. but from time to time I will eat that stuff haha

[Gainer65]

My favorite "junk" that does'nt make me feel guilty is pizza.

[jeriboy54]

Shit man I could go on and on....
Panda Express orange chicken
Hawian Pizza
a Fat burger
weight gainer with chocolate milk
juicy steak

[jbear]

ice cream! Never miss a week without having some.

[determined]

Pizza, Funguns, and Skittles.......maybe a few Sweet Tarts

Hatred had it right. In & Out 4X4 times 2. Sometimes you have to add a chocolate shake.

[Platestacker]

Just plain old chocolate bar

[IMBACK]

A Chipotle burrito...just cause i can put a lot of chicken and steak on it...and it gives me a lot of calories

FOR SURE.. except its like 2 days worth of calories

[Toni69]

A fuckin BIG ass salad size bowl of cereal.....Cinnimon Toast Crunch or Lucky Charms!

I love this! I throw in chunks of bananas too.

[Toni69]

The best "healthy", don't feel guilty in the monring late night snack for me is a bowl of chopped up bananas..like 2-3 with a huge scoop of peanut butter. I sit and watch whatever is on tv and EAT! I love that!

[Millhouse]

4X4 animal style with fries and a cho. milk shake. YUM

[Greg_G]

[SouthTEX-26]

A fuckin BIG ass salad size bowl of cereal.....Cinnimon Toast Crunch or Lucky Charms!

[deathdealer2134]

without question...if im looking to cheat and have a little junk food i'm grabbing myself about 8 spicy chicken soft tacos from TACO BELL....unreal

[Buckeye]

Ice cream!!! God I feel so weak now!

[Toni69]

Ice cream!!! God I feel so weak now!

This is me with ice cream, by biggest weakness...my son always has an ice cream shake before bed right. So..I am happy to make it. I take the smallest spoon in my house and start skimming the edges..just taking tiny bits...making me think its just a nibble. I keep going around the edges...before you know it..there is nothing left around the edges and we are left with a mountain of ice cream in the center! So, I am fooling myself by not taking huge scoops at one time, but wind up eating half the darn tub anyway with my stupid skimming. Why do I do that? LOL

[vik]

some sweet italian sausage

[LightsOut]

some greasy ass pizza or hot pockets...i could probably put away about 10 of those in one sitting

[calcaneous]

the girl i decided to hit up a steak house for dinner tonight.

we both ordered 10oz steaks. Yeah, i know we orderded the same shit, but she works her little ass off in the gym between pilates shit and weight lifting.

well, turns out the steak was a little too big, so she ate about 1/3 of it and gave the rest to me. So my dinner for tonight was:

salad
a shit load of rice
a baked potato
my "10oz" steak and about 5-6oz of hers.
a corn muffin
a decent size bowl of apple cobbler.


not too bad for a small cheat meal, eh?

Minus the cobbler, that doesnt even sound like a cheat meal haha. Sounds solid as hell to me. If you can eat like that year round youd be a beast. Good work....im hungry now.

[Big Wides]

that is some healthy eats there....could never find a girl who liked steak. my ultimate meal is something like this:

2 or 3 dozen buffalo wings hot
cheesesteak with wiz
texas tommy (foot long dog wrapped in bacon w/wiz) or a johnny dog (hot dog, onions, chili and mustard)

It was satisfying, I probably could of eaten more actually lol. I didn't even gain one pound from it which made me a little upset.

[alecto42]

Believe it or not the best cheat meal that i enjoy is just extra natural PB with a huge bowl of oatmeal, mixed with 4 packets of splenda, cinnamon, and some good tasting whey to flavor it up (vpx isolate - graham cracker flavor), add in a mashed banana and you got urself one of the most tasty meals out there, even though every single item going into it is clean calories, i add a ton of it and it overshoots that meal's calorie total HA...

Gotta have fun sometimes!

[Malloy1344]

Let me have two Big Macs.....death between buns....but I love every minute of it....haha

100 Grand Bars, Texas Tommy, buffalo wings, 2 Nicks Roast Beef Sandwhiches (for you Philly area junkies), Johnny Dog (foot long dog, chili, onions, mustard)

Ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream! There is a place near me that when it rains or snows you get a free scoop! as soon as it starts raining I can't get there fast enough!!!

from time to time I've know to go on cheesecake binges ordering them from bakeries all over the country. so far Junior's in NY and the chocolate explosion from Tennesse Cheesecake are #1 and #2 for cheesecake.


yeah, i'm kind of an addict

[Fury317]

Pizza for sure....any kind.

[Toni69]

See, now when dieting, I want everything I cant have, but go figure...when bulking, and Im allowed to eat whatever, I dont take advantage as often as I should cause I know when bulking I can have what I want whenever I want, so I ignore my cravings. When I diet, I know I cant have this stuff, and then I really want it..so stupid! LOL..did that make sense?

Ok..so now I want a dam thick ass peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwich..toasted, Elvis presley style! DAMMIT!!!

[MYKL]

Yeah Buddy! Toasted PB, Banana and Honey Sammitch And a 20 OZ. Arrogant Bastard.

Or Three to four fingers of Laphroig (neat) and some 70+% Cacao Chocolate.

[OSUrookie]

chipotle burrito for sure, taco bell, bbq wings, and ice cream......mmmm

Does it make me ignorant that I dont know a damn thing you mentioned right here haha. Other than PB and bananas- what the hell is all this stuff...Laphroig? Cacao? fill me in

[MYKL]

Laphroaig: My favourite Single Malt Scottish Whiskey made on the island of Islay
Arrogant Bastard: My favourite Beer Made by a small brewry in SoCal (You are not worthy...heh)
Cacao: Beans from a tree that are the most essential part of chocolate. The more Cacao the more bitter and dark the chocolate.

Mmmm... I'm so cheating this weeks end.

[Fury317]

Ohhhhhh Im pretty sure cacao and cocoa are teh same? just spelled differently.

And HEY! Im a pure bread Irishman, Im worthy of any beer haha

[Renji007]

3 pure protein bars (blueberrie crumb cake, butternut, and chocolate chip) though sometimes I just go in for a few protein cookies that I make

[Hoffdogg]

The best "healthy", don't feel guilty in the monring late night snack for me is a bowl of chopped up bananas..like 2-3 with a huge scoop of peanut butter. I sit and watch whatever is on tv and EAT! I love that!I read this today, and just had to have it. I am sitting here dipping my banana in my Natty PB.

1-2 dz. buffalo wings
Finish it off with a Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen

[Vinny]

OREOS dipped in MILK

[Malloy1344]

OREOS dipped in MILK

I think Mr. IRBS would agree with that 110%.....lol......I also don't consider that meal a cheat meal, lol..thats my standard on a daily basis. I'll hit up Taco Bell for a good cheat meal........2 chalupas, 2 tacos, a crunchwrap and quesadillas.....so delicious, lol..

[Syringemouth]

Probably because you are 16 and have a metoblism that is faster than a race horse.

[ironshaolin]

my cheat meal was....a whole cow. Live. Talk about meeting your protein requirements.

I did have chinese yesterday, which I'll say can be either a good cheat meal or a good clean meal depending on how and what you order. I had general tso's chicken with pork fried rice, then a bowl of hot and sour soup with a fortune cookie to finish it off. It was amazing.

Shit, sounds to me like one anabolic motherfucker of a meal. I wouldn't even call it a cheat, honestly.

[IronWilson]

We were in Colombus this weekend filming and there was a White Castle right next to my hotel. I had never been to a White Castle before, so I thought a sack of 10 sliders would be a good cheat meal. Oh god was I wrong. White Castle is so damn disgusting, I couldn't even finish the second burger. Shit, the protein bar I ate afterwards was better tasting.

[SolidTongan]

I see people talkin' about cheat meals while bulkin'...what about while cuttin'? I've read and heard many times about people sayin' that it is beneficial to cheat one time a week. It's like givin' your brain a break from eatin' the same food day in and day out, and that'll it'll help the person stay away from binges durin' the course of the week. Second, it also helps the person sticc to the diet...or even gives them somethin' to look forward to every week...or somethin' like that. It's not the short term that matters...but the long term loss that matters, and cheatin' makes sure you sticc to it long term. I've even gone ahead and done it myself...and I've noticed that it does work. On my cheat meals, I go all out! Savorin' each and every morsel! The notches on my belt are still goin' down...I even have to add a few. Furthermore, there's even a diet plan that is called Cheat To Lose Diet...where the cheat day is the most important day of all. Are there any others who are cuttin' and cheat as well? What's everybody's insight on all this?

When cutting I really look forward to my cheat meal. It gives my brain a break and I'm pretty sure it helps my metabolism from turning to crap.

Life's too short to not not enjoy a slice of pizza every week.

[MassMonster]

depends on what your cuttin for really... if your doing it for a show i wouldnt advice cheating evey week.... maybe every 2-3 but not every week

[ThirdEye]

If your going very low to 'keto' no carbs. Then a cheat meal is essential to shock the system and spark your metabolism. Just ask Krazy & Ox & Pokoritel & Toni69 etc.

On a regular cut, a cheat will spark your metabolism a lil, but more importantly, as stated, stops you going insane. Its also something else to look forward to and carry you through the hardest days.

[gripperm]

Without my cheat meal ( A nice big burrito from Chipolte) I would not be able to stick to my diet.

http://ezinearticles.com/?Cheat-Meals-and-Weight-Loss-How-to-Cheat-and-Still-Lose-Weight&id=732575
I would go insane on a cut without a cheat meal....

[Macrobolic]

Definitely a good idea to do once a week. I'll try to dig up a good article I saw about having cheat meals during the week while cutting...

[Stiff]

The way I see it is this... unless you are doing Keto, don't schedule a cheat meal. If you can get by without one, why blow your diet at that time? However if you are having extremely bad cravings for a certain food, your body may be lacking a nutrient present in said food. Don't go all out or do this too frequently (like more than once a week), but allow yourself to have a reasonable portion of the food you are craving.

[Everyonedoes]

I would limit the amount of cheat meals you eat.

[Toni69]

It depends on the individual and their goals. Im getting ready for a show and many that are do a cheat meal once a week for different reasons and we do this up until we say ok...no more. Then we kick shit up a few notches to get our bodies where they need to be...whether its for personal goals or for a show.

I have said this a million times..diet/training is not a one size fits all regimen. Its custom made to tailor your needs as an individual within this sport. We all have different goals and ideas of how the "perfect" physique looks to us..especially if your sculpting your own.

Go by the mirror...design your diet to fit your needs and make changes as you go along.
You make the rules...its your body, and you sculpt it into your own work of art.

And to also find out who else out there schedule regular cheats and if they're still successful in their cuttin' phase.

[HoldFast]

During a diet I cheat 1-2 times a week. It makes me feel better all over. Mind and Body. Only time I would really worry about cheating would be pre-contest. If I ever compete I may cut back on the cheats to once every other week or so. Till then enjoy life some.

When cutting I really look forward to my cheat meal. It gives my brain a break and I'm pretty sure it helps my metabolism from turning to crap.
Life's too short to not not enjoy a slice of pizza every week.

Gotta agree here. mmm pizza.

[krazyassmexican]

again brother just eat the fucking burguer
it wont hurt if it is just a cheat meal once a week

[Cstlfx]

Cheat meals are a definite must have during a cut to keep the sanity. Also, I always found that after eating my cheat meal, my metabolism was better, kinda restarted the furnace again. Eat a cheat meal, but keep it within boundaries. No Roman gorging, lol.

[Toni69]

Will do will do. I feel that cheatin' does help me...and I see it, but I just posted this to see if it wuz for real...or if it wuz just somethin' that I want to be true [cheat meals help]...and that the results weren't just a figment of my imagination. And to also find out who else out there schedule regular cheats and if they're still successful in their cuttin' phase.

reasons for cheating go beyond just having a cheat as a reward or as a means to keep your sanity when dieting. It sparks the metabolism...it gives it a kick in the ass and I notice when I do a cheat meal..like a carb load cheat since Im doin a keto diet...I actually have less water retention from the carbs, I am fuller and harder looking afterwards and I just feel dam good overall.

When it comes to show prep...this cheat meal may eventually end as you fine tune your body for a show or maybe not. Some athletes do cheat meals to the very end. it depends on you and the mirror. Again, we all have our idea of what a cheat meal is. I dont choose to load up on junk and sugars and fast food. This is just me...prob if I did..it wouldnt kill me. I rather make it worth my while. I know Im gonna enjoy a bowl of my pasta and meatballs with maybe a bit of ice cream or cake for dessert much more than a burger and greasy fries from some fast food joint.

[SolidTongan]

Alright...cheat meals good. 2nd question...how much does everybody eat durin' their cheat meals? Just like a li'l taste of sin...or do they eat till they're full?

[Toni69]

I have to be careful here cause even on my cheat meals....my Boss (es) tell me Im not eating enough...LOL

In my opinion, you eat this cheat meal to the point of satisfaction...not to be a glutton; To feel satisfied and nearly full. I never believed in stuffing yourself to the point where you feel you wanna puke or till your so bloated you cant walk...LOL

The other thing is to drink loads of water...always.

Ok..so just enjoy the meal, let it be something thats a treat, somethng you normally dont always eat, and enjoy it. Make the moment last..dont horse it down like a caveman! LOL

Most of the time I make my cheat meal worth it. I plan my cheat meal all week long. Everyday on the treadmill I think about what im going to have, ( Chinese Food, Pizza, Fast Food ) I go totally overboard. Pizza then ice cream with syrup etc. You get the idea. I figure its a cheat meal might as well eat as much as a want because afterwards its 4-5 days before I treat myself again. I would just suggest eating what you want during your cheat and only eating it in one sitting. Dont eat half a pizza then 3 hours later eat the other half.

Just my two cents.

Maybe pizza would be better for ya! Ya can always get some thin crust, if you wanna avoid as much carbs as possible.

[Pizzalamp]

thin crust pizza is a great cheat meal

[AnthonyB]

all this talk about pizza.....................

[hjayss]

Pizza has some good protein and carbs all in one slice...I am gonna miss pizza when I start cutting...

In your case...a cheat meal can be something like a ribeye steak with a large sweet pot with a bit of butter...or fried chicken, buffalo wings and maybe a side of yummy beans (like recipes I added here that are easy to make). Just foods you normally would not eat during the week.

Like for me..after a show, my traditonal cheat indulgence is a huge ass burger (I mean the biggest the restaurant can make for me) with the works and I mean cheese, bacon, maybe even onion rings...stuff I never ever eat..including the bun on the burger cause Im NOT a big bread fan. I go all out this one night cause I know I can. I take on a couple pieces of cake with that burger baby..and Im good..Im satisfied...and I wont do it again cause I know I had my fill.

When I go back into bulk mode..I always do a clean bulk where I eat clean all week..but Im getting in the carbs, fats and protein for sure...all from solid sources. Then I do my cheat day on the weekend..a garbage day, where I eat whatever I want that whole day, keeping protein high always. This day, I dont just stuff my face with crap cause Im NOT a shit eater, meaning the McDonald's and Taco Bell's (I make better burgers and tacos myself!). I will eat foods I normally would not eat during my clean bulk week. This is where I get in extra calories, I treat myself to new foods..special foods that I can honestly enjoy cause its a once a week thing...this is rest, recover and eat mode for me.

This worked for me on this last bulk..I started this plan right after the Bev Francis, June 07...went from 110lbs to almost 130lbs before dieting for the Arnold now and I started dieting for the Arnold before this past Thanksgiving (20 wks out?)...transition dieting that is.

Oh God, was that ribeye steak directed towards me? Toni, it wouldn't even know what was comin after I got a hold of it. lolll In bonless skinless chicken breast mode right now...so I wouldn't think twice of taken down some angus. :-P

[Feel The Power]

i do one cheat a week.. if i have cravings the peanut butter usually holds me down.

[Toni69]

Preston,

Because your carb sensitve, your cheat should be a fattier type of cheat...something you normally dont eat right? This is the point to shocking your metabolism, and giving you a treat at the same time. Im not saying eat a 20oz ribeye...a normal size with slow digesting, fibrous carbs..like sweet pot's and beans. I think that is a fantastic way to cheat if all you eat is chicken and turkey breast and fish every day. You see what I mean? Or, if you opted for the hot wings with some bleu cheese dressing, or I dont know...some italian sausage, bell peppers and onions...now we are cheating solid!

[laxnit23]

Interesting thread, I do think a cheat meal has significant psychological value. If used correctly it can motivate you to eat clean the rest of the time in between each cheat meal (1 week, 2-3 weeks). I'm slowly cutting out carbs from my diet over the last 2 weeks and the following 2 weeks preparing for ketosis in mid january when I get back to school. On it, I will cheat after the first 2-2.5 weeks, once a week for a month, then after 2-2.5 weeks again. Just a theoretical cycle I came up with to help me survive the stress of school along with training.

[SolidTongan]

All this talk 'bout pizza earlier....would it be a good post workout meal? Huh? Nutrition and a cheat all together!

[Pizzalamp]

pizza is a great snack!

[Feel The Power]

i do what hold fast does. i all out cheat meal once a week. So far for my cutting diet it has been helping me and not hurting me... however if a few more weeks its not helping I will change it and make it once every two weeks instead of once a week. I eat very very clean the other 6 5/6 days though. haha. I know what you mean about planning a cheat meal while your on the treadmill doing cardio. Its even worse when your doing cardio and food commercials come on the tv.

[Renji007]

Cheat meals do help spark your fire. But just remember that it's a double edged blade. So just remember to swing it the right way and not cut yourself with it.

(Once a week, fine, though you may want once a week, then twice every now and then just in case)

[SolidTongan]

pizza is a great snack!

Thanks.

[SolidTongan]

Do any of you cheat the whole day? How has that affected you?

[Feel The Power]

i personally think the whole day is too much, but thats for me and I have a slower metabolism to begin with. if you have a faster metabolism maybe.. my one buddy eats fast food even when dieting.. lucky bastard

I feel your pain, bro. I eat fast food too...but have to alterate it somewhat. For instance, I take off the buns for burgers...order skinless chicken strips...basically eat only the meat portions of the order.

[Feel The Power]

good plan.. ditch the carbs and still get the fast food taste, might have to try that.

do you ever allow yourself to have carbs on your cheat meals?

[Enforcer]

Cheat meals= good but cut them out about 8-9weeks prior to a show

[LittleMan55]

I'm with liftheavy13 on this one in that a cheat meal is a must, but then again I am not trying to show so I have no input on that. I get one in about every 2 weeks. Look at it like this a cheat meal is like Christmas, you know it doesnt come often, but hell its good when its here!!

[SolidTongan]

do you ever allow yourself to have carbs on your cheat meals?

I go all out on carbs on my cheat meal! Sometimes they're only carbs! Like an ice cream shake...or pizza...you know what I mean. But yeah, I definitely load up on carbs for my cheat days.

I don't know about that, I have the battle for the Olympia DVD and David Henry is out with his friends until 3 in the morning and he said he had 4 beers and about 100 hot wings haha, and this was only like a week from the show. It's not like 1 cheat meal is going to completely ruin your definition.

This is when he is bulking, and at his size you can get away with a lot.

spread over 2 hours mmmmmmm

yours is a good cheat bro sounds tasty

[stumblin54]

probably about 1100-1500 kcals.

Off the top of my head I would suggest that these numbers are a little off, especially if you're eating this by yourself.

[ct italian 1]

if cutting just to be leaner, I'll cheat up to 1x/week.
now that I'm dieting for a show, no cheats whatsoever for me.

hahah broooo

cheesecake by itself is like 35g of carbs with sugar and all... probably about 320 cals
the heaping plate of jumbalaya they would give you is so fuckin big.
its like a lb of pasta plus shrimp and chicken and beef and shellfish.
plus all those good veggies.
at least 800 cals.
and the buffalo blasts alone are like 500.

ive been on keto for a month and just ate 3 pizzas from claifornia pizza kitchen.. is this bad..?? haha i kinda went overboard but i was starving!!! this was my 3rd this month btw

[killat0n]

Screw cheat "meals"! I have cheat "days". It doesn't start out that way but I can never seem to stop. Last time I did a cut I didn't use cheat meals until the final week. And this time around, what I'm doing although seems really crazy and irresponsible, it actually drives me to work 10 times harder during the week then I ever had or would without it. My worst cheat day so far was 2 weeks ago, where I consumed over 7000 calories of pizza,cookies,candy and ice cream in less then 9 hours. Hahahah no joke. I then had a great workout late that night and followed it with about 45mins of cardio(in addition to the 20 mins of HIIT cardio in the am) and walked out of the gym with an empty stomach not regretting one bit of food I had eaten earlier that day. Woke up the next day 1lb lighter than the morning before. After cheat days like that one(on Saturday usually) the thought of eating bad doesn't even cross my mind until usually Thursday. I'm not tempted by anything at all and I actually look forward to eating plain tasteless food because of how good it makes me feel. By doing this it's made this cut seem so easy and hasn't hindered my results, it's only improved them.

[Brick By Brick]

Cheat meals good!! If I didn't have that cheat meal on Saturday night, I think I'd go psychotic. I had an unplanned sort-of cheat meal last night because we got home late from DLs, rack pulls, clean and press, and I was down 2 more pounds this morning. Steak, asparagus, salad with very little balsamic vinagrette, and about a cup of rice pilaf. It was wrong, but it felt so, so right.....

Alright, time to get dirty, what is your favorite junk to eat that won't make you feel guilty in the morning. For me its chicken chalupas at taco bell, I can only justify this because it has chicken in it. So what about you guys? What's your favorite cheat meal?

Mine would have to be Chicken Chalupas as well, or a chicken pizza from Papa Murphy's. Good stuff.

I go to Golden corral (a full buffet) "everyonce in a while" and chow the fuck down on steaks, chicken, mac and cheese, fried chicken, corn, anything I can get my eye on you name it, I eat it. The bannana pudding is bomb to. I also like pizza and this mexican dish my wife makes....called "Flortas." This is of course every once in a while. Its a reward when I go weeks on end eating healthy.

They are. You don't like crabcakes? I eat them as I see them. Living on the Chespake has its perks!!!

[ShadowExsoul]

Hands down for me, ice cream with all the fixings. Only eat it about once a month but when I do I go to town.

[boom]

I love crabcakes, but eating 50 wings from Buffalo Wild Wings or Beef o bradys sounds amazing.

imo, this 2 times a week might be a little much, ecsp kfc, being the worst of the worst, fried greasy and everything else.
even if your bulking id rethink this one personally
