Cheat meals, what do you eat??

***Shredz*** · 03-07-2004, 09:18 AM

Okay well yesterday night was a cheat meal for me while watching the Arnold Classic. By way it was rigged and Dexter got ripped. But that is besides the point.

Well I ate Pizza, and I couldn't stop. I believe it was 8 pieces. Well because of that I paid for it this morning. My stomach was absolutely killing me and I won't go into what happened after. That would be just Too Much Info

Well needless to say my stomach now feels better but I am feeling a little guilty because of my over indulgence.

So I want to see what you guys perfer to eat when it is time for your cheat meals, because I am never ever doing that pizza thing again.

**Rickson** · 03-07-2004, 10:57 AM

Last night I had pizza and cheesecake but I think I am going to start skipping the cheat meal or make it once every 2 to 3 weeks. I like my diet and cheating makes it hard for me to get back on at this age.

**Doc M** · 03-07-2004, 10:58 AM

I have the same thing every Saturday night..A pizza, loaded of course, 24 oz Coca Cola, and some chocolate chip cookies...UMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Then I spend Sunday with an upset stomach, but it's all worth it!!!

Last night was the night for my cheat meal........... double backon cheese burger, half of my gf's burger that she couldn't finished........ onion rings...... some cheese fries..... and half a milk shake

That was the worst I have eaten in a long long long time. Usually we will go out to eat and I'll get stuffed flonder and stuff like that for my cheat meal.

**ColdSore** · 03-07-2004, 11:30 AM

I love chinese take out...sweat and sour chicken, sesame chicken, general Tso's spicy chicken...lots of fried rice, extra egg rolls, and egg drop soup!!!!!....can beat that...Pizza is good though...

**redrock** · 03-07-2004, 12:13 PM

Usually go to a fast food joint. I'll end up with a couple hamburgers or 2-3 burritos. Lots of fries and a large Pepsi. I alwasy finish 'er off with a quart of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I always need a nap after that.

**Xavier_4446** · 03-07-2004, 12:33 PM

This mexican dish called Pollo Bandido at a local mexican restaurant. First I gorge myself on chips and salsa and then the meal is chicken smothered in beans, rice, cheese, and a ripped up tortilla shell. **** its good

Chips and salsa are my F*CKING demise. I love chips more than I love any kind of sweets, candy, junk food or anything. Oh man, I make myself sick on them. RR

LOL exactly what i had the other day, **** those spicy chickens are good. The best cheat food for me is pizza though, a large pizza and a few cokes or on rare ocasion a Guiness or two.

**Tock** · 03-07-2004, 01:39 PM

A Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (2, actually) and two quarts of milk and a tall cup of coffee with half a bar of dark chocolate.
Ain't nothing in the world better than PB&J . . .

"A huge slice of candy walnut apple pie, topped with a mountain of Edy's Classic vanilla ice cream, covered by a river of caramel, and sprinkled with an avalanche of English toffee!"

Felt fine until the applie pie...Hit me last night and this morning...Oh lord...I say Im never going to cheat again but every week it happens again...

If I ate that I would still be on the ****ter now.

**** bro you must have one strong stomach.

I personally find that when I start eating clean my body only wants clean food. Now my tastes buds have a different opinion but nothing I can do about that.

So like I said after eating that pizza I was finished.

Keep them coming I am getting some ideas for next week already.

**someday** · 03-07-2004, 06:16 PM

2 chicken bacon swiss sandwiches from arbys with a diet pepsi then for dinner chinese food and a couple shinerbock's. I usually end up about 5 pounds heavier the next day....then i feel like crap.

Now THAT's a cheat meal!!! I cant seem to make a diet work...I have tried, but continuously give in....therefore im forever on a bulking cycle!, now that my metabolism has slowed down, I just pack on the inches--in all the bad areas.

**AbsolutelyLethal** · 03-07-2004, 06:47 PM

I like going to the ice cream parlor/restaurant...Eat a burger platter or whatever and then a HUGE banana split...Each scoop is like the size of a baseball...All the toppings of caramel, syrup, nuts...the whole nine yards...Never can finish..ALWAYS sick!

Love going to Outback..cheese fries, bloomin onion, LOADED sweet potato, bread, steak(last time didnt make it to this, I had to give it to a friend)....

Love Cereal on cheat days...Love graham crackers...BREAD...

Ive noticed, ever since I started cutting and losing bookoo fat, I eat a lot less healthy then my fat days, could I have eaten healthy if I was fat?!, when I deviate from my diets...No longer no self control very well....

This is the method i use, however i can go 1 month eating clean and then have a cheat day in the middle of the week, i dont have fixed cheat days but i make sure to have alot of space between them.

Hey it was a cheat day, I take full advantage of them.hahaha I eat clean the 6 other days of the week, I'm bulking right now so it's a lot of food but still clean. Hell I have to eat more food on the clean days, becasue as u can see my cheat days have some fat content. Cheat days like that do keep one regular, to say the least. Did u notice there was no chicken, tuna, or lean beef on my cheat day....why waste my calories on that if I'm gonna cheat.

How often do u allow cheat meals per week?

**cb25** · 03-07-2004, 08:32 PM

Gotta admit...I feel much better about myself after reading this...

thought i was the only one who suffered after cheat meals...****. I go all out - eat like a whole **** pizza, wings and coke...or whatever...but my stomach kills me the next day...spend half the **** day on the sh*tter...

**Animal Cracker** · 03-07-2004, 09:14 PM

Golden Grahams..Moon Pies...

**bigsd67** · 03-07-2004, 10:15 PM

IHOP three egg omeletes with a side of pancakes are quality cheat foods...as are mrs. fields, cinnamon toast crunch, bagels with cream cheese, belgian waffles...the list goes on.....then you feel sick for the next two days

**Kim2884** · 03-07-2004, 10:24 PM

Yesterday was my cheat day...I actually didn't do as bad as i could have.. I had my normal egg whites/oats breakfast...then i had a bagel w/cream cheese, 2 skim milk lattes, chicken marsala, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, a "double chocolate gooey butter cake" (it IS as good as it sounds), a bowl of honey nut cheerios, a bowl of golden grahams, and a strawberry pop tart....i almost always feel sick after a cheat day, to some extent.

**Babyweight** · 03-07-2004, 10:39 PM

Pizza & beer as always..... but every once in awhile french fries.

**PuddleMonkey** · 03-08-2004, 02:45 AM

I really got to stop giving myself a cheat meal all together. Currently I only get one per two weeks, but I go way overboard. Yesterday was 'the day' and as usual I stopped by Jack In The Box and ordered:

Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger (no mustard/extra mayo)
4 Tacos (deep fried. yum!)
Jr Bacon Cheeseburger
Chicken Sandwich
Fries (large)
Oreo Cookie Shake (Large)

Yeah, I've got some issues with food, no doubt.

**PuddleMonkey** · 03-08-2004, 02:59 AM

To elaborate on my 'issues' with food I've always been a big eater. At 20 years old I was over 330 pounds. I would order a Godfathers 'Family Feast' thick crust pizza and eat the entire thing in one sitting, including the bread sticks (its suppose to feed a family of 4 and then some). I finally took control and decided to do something about it when I turned 21. Took the weight off in about a year, had myself down to 183 pounds. NO ephedra, NO lypo, NO tummy staples, NO SISSY WAY OUT! No doubt the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Wasn't thrilled with being so weak and frail, so I started weight training naturally and got up to 215. Currently on my first cycle of the 'sauce' and about 230 right now. Its kinda hard to watch the scale go back up, as I have this fear of weight gain, but I just have to keep in mind its the 'good' weight this time.

**AbsolutelyLethal** · 03-08-2004, 07:48 AM

Love the IHOP!!!!

Always end my cheat days there...

Chicken Fajita Omelette...3 Pancakes loaded with butter and syrups...Side of corn cake pancakes(dont know where they are on a menu but they have em...Saw it on a table and started ordering them!!), Plus a side of hash browns if Im feeling it...

Great job on your progress bro!! What all did your diet and exercise routine consist of to lose all the weight? RR

I did it the 'wrong' way, crash diet, but it was the only way that was going to work for me. I would get discouraged fast if I didn't see results week in and week out. I dropped my calories down to 600-800 a day, ate a lot of water based stuff like soup, watermellon, etc. Started out running a mile a day, which is hard as **** for a guy 5'10" 330 lbs. At one point I was running 4 miles a day as well as playing basketball for a couple hours. The fat came off fast with all the cardio and reduction of calories, but so did the muscle tissue. When I got close to 180 lbs I could barely pick up my g/f who weighed about 125. Didn't care for being weak and frail, especially since I was strong as hell when I was 300+, so I spent a couple years in the weight room getting up to 215 naturally. Oh yeah, I recently turned 28 years old, so all those people who told me that I wouldn't be able to keep the fat off if I crash diet can go to hell.
