What's best to eat on cheat days?

[planb]

1. sugary carbs. i.e. cake, cereal, pancakes
2. salty fats. i.e. chicken wings, juicy burger/steak

I never get cheat DAYS but I do get one cheat MEAL per week. My nutritionist likes me to eat as much as possible of whatever I like for that one meal however I must eat my 5-6 other planned meals for the day as well.

Agree with the cheat meal. Diet clean up until Friday night then just buffet'ing my nutsack off for last meal of the night.

I love my cheat meal but damn its hard to suck down a shake a few hours later. I'm usually completely stuffed from the cheat. LOL!

Same - except I don't have the luxury of having a nutritionist

Wether you chose cheat meal or cheat day its called CHEAT for a reason! Eat what you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rds63799]

an unholy amount of dominos pizza, crisps (that's potato chips to you yanks), brownies, ice cream etc

Doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's carby. You should be refilling your glycogen stores and re-setting your Leptin levels, which are both things carbs'll do.

Phatbastard said it best though: eat what you enjoy

When I'm bulking I love to throw in some cheat meals throughout the week. Pizza is by far my favorite. I would eat it everyday if it were good for me! I don't count steak as a cheat meal though.

Same here...and for some weird reason I don't feel as bad when I cheat with pizza, guess because I figure it's giving me a little bit of everything in terms of macros...

And I feel stronger after a pizza cheat meal

 

[heavyiron]

My fav cheat is a double cheeseburger and fries with a regular Coke. I absolutely fill out after that cheat.

 

[alexus hensicus]

Yeah nothing budgeting a cheat meal from the dollar menu at macdons.

The spiciest chicken wings I can find. Like 50 of em... Or there is a place down the road that will make cheeseburgers by the pound. Had a 4 pounder one time with fries. It was a struggle near the end but totaly worth it.
