[viciousness]

I f'd up bigtime cheated for 3 days went form 257 to 264 over night im assuming its all water ( i know it probably is but im buggin) do you guys think i could bounce back in the next few days if i get back to my super strict diet. fuckin super bowl weekend ruined meeeeeeee

Personally, from experience with past cheats, I'm skeptical that the laws of mathematics hold.

There is 7K cals to 1kg of storage fat. Do you know how much above maintenance you went?

If you went 2300 above maintenance per day, that equates theoretically to 1kg. 4600, 2 kilos. To put on 7 pounds of fat - theoretically u'd have to have consumed 8166.666667 cals above mainteance - I'm hopeful u didn't do that (that be about 1.5 kilos of PB, or 34 slices of pizza)

However, pass binge cheating episodes of similar nature make me believe that the laws of maths do not hold here, and the fat gain is usually far less than the theoretical estimate (perhaps, when your body is drowned in calories unusually, it doesn't absorb them - i notice how I often get diarhoohea in such eposidoes & feel really hot, which could signal your body is burning them off from heat). If maths always applied, I'm sure I would have been a real fat arse when I returned from an 8 week overseas trip last year

As for what you can, just get back on the diet/lifting/cardio. Perhaps drop carbs a bit for a couple of days as your glycogen stores will clearly be full.

I agree with this. In my experience with some crazy cheat binges, it really didn't effect my fat gain as much as it should have, as after the water weight was re-depleted I was back to about normal.

Personally i dont think you should have a problem, if your really worried, get an extra 15 minutes of cardio for the next 7 days, With all our clients, we heavily heavily promote a cheat day once per week. and going along with what Sim said, you would have needed to throw down enourmous amounts of Cals to bring your weight to that level. Now being it was superbowl, im sure you had ton's of food containing enourmus amounts of sodium, fried chicken, chicken wings, beer, what have you, im willing to bet 80% of it is water.
Try some HIIT you'll really up the water flush, and then you can see if you've really got somthing to be worried about, good luck bro!
