whats better, skip a meal, or eat crap ??

[dazbo]

Just wondering, if the time comes where you cant have your normal healthy meal, what would you do ?? a) Skip it and make sure you get the next one or b) Eat whatever crap you can see in front of you be it chocolate, cakes etc ????

I think I'd pick b) so that it keeps my metabolism high due to eating every few hours.

What about you guys ??

thanks

oops didnt mean to vote for that one!!!!!!

B. Especially when bulking. When cutting i just eat crap and count it as my cheat meal.

[AnabolicBoy1981]

it depends on whether bulking or cutting. Also depends how bad of a cheat it is.

Maybe just eat a smaller amount of it if its crap.

i skip it...but not sure if thats the best thing to do.

[Dave321]

I love cake and cookies... sure as HELL wouldn't miss a meal!

[bor]

Crap...

But there is bad crap and worse crap....its not the same if you eat a turkey bread sandwich or a Big Mac

[dazbo]

skipping it is winning.........

[Kärnfysikern]

I would skip it

[LittleNate]

i would rater eat a couple of double cheesburgers than skip a meal

[Mighty Joe]

I would skip before I loaded my body with sugar!

[dazbo]

yeah when I say crap I also mean like I dont know, cheese and bacon burgers, chips, white breads etc

[BeerBaron]

I skip it, but I often wonder that same question myself.

It depends what my goals are. But you can almost ALWAYS find a healthy alternative.

I always keep a bar on me just in case this situation arises.. if I didn't have it though I'd skip it.

[tretch187]

It depends on the choices....

Usually if I can justify it as having a large enough amount of protein I will go ahead and eat it.


If its like nachos....I will skip that and just shorten meal frequencies up later in the day to fit in the missed meal. Always eat 6 or 7 meals for me.....

Even if its at 11pm, 11:15pm, 11:30pm lol

DON'T SKIP!
skipping the meal will only make ur metabolism slower, and take away from nutrients.
eating crap is better, you will get some sort of protein and you will enjoy your cheat meal...i never skip any meals. if i'm stranded in a place wherepizza or burgers are available then ill have it and consider that my cheat meal for the rest of the week

[dazbo]

see that ast reply is the one argument "FOR" not skipping. Then theres all the others above that say to skip it ?!???

I think maybe its a do what you want thing ?????!!

[dazbo]

bump - wanna keep this goin a while

[*Narkissos*]

If i'm cutting i'll skip it..and bump the protein content of the following meal.

If i'm offseason...it depends on what you call 'crap'.

If 'crap' is a sub...then i'll eat it.

If 'crap' is cake...i'll skip. Most times i'll have some nuts or something on me at all times...so skipping isn't an option.

[dazbo]

that makes a lot of sense nark

thanks

[rankin]

i will eat crap if i want to but will avoid the frys, sweets etc, eg will eat a quarter pounder with no cheese and a water with it..maybe ad an extra beef patty!!! then next meal will be caesin/whey shake combo...i try to mix very low GI and med to high GI foods,,,eg will have a whey/caesin shake and a slice of wholemeal bread and then maybe a ice cream !!!

[BIG TEXAN]

I would never skip a meal..... depending on my selections that is. But than again I'm always prepared so I never have to skip a meal. Worse comes to worse a small bag of peanuts don't even cost a buck....

Same here , just the point I was trying to make - there are different kinds of crap
