Cheating On A Bulk?

[SaintGJR7]

Hi.

At the moment i am cutting down for my holiday - sticking to my diet 100% - i have one carb refeed once per week just with clean carb foods to try and get me where i want to be.

I plan on bulking when i come back - i just wanted peoples' views on it - it might sound a bit strange really but do you cheat on a bulk?

At the moment i am not craving too badly but it seems once i go on a bulk i really want stuff like sweets etc. generally more carbs. Should i allow myself a few treats per day once per week like some cookies - donuts - etc. Especially when i have been very strict during my cut?

Just wanted to hear your views on it when bulking.

Cheers.

I like to have a clean Bulking diet, plenty of lean beef and low IG carbs. So I have cheat meals 1 or 2 times a week.

Thanks luquillo.

I think thats what i will probably do - last bulk was really clean - i never cheated but i also felt maybe i was become too strict and not enjoying myself.

I have up to two days off from dieting and still can lose 2lbs a week. On one day anything goes, on the other day it's mostly clean carbs but above normal diet calorie levels. I'd have no fun if I couldnt go out with my buds and my gf on the weekends, not to mention drinking.

1 cheat meal per day over here. But always keeping it high in protein and carbs.

Enjoying food when you are bulking is not cheating, unless you are gorging on fast food then that is just a ridiculous lack of discipline when there is so much good healthy food out there.

It is the very best, I love bulking, and everything about it.

Yea i dont see why some people have mcdonalds as part of their bulking program. I feel like crap after eating fast food.
