Bulking Diet Cheat Day

[TheShit]

Question:

I am doing a clean bulking diet, ie low glycemic carbs 40/30/30 CPF. Hi glyemic carbs only after workouts 3600 calories a day. I try never to mix fats and carbs in the same meals. My current weight is 171 lbs, my goal is 190 in 12 weeks time.

My question is this, while bulking can you have a cheat day where you just ignore your macronutrient profile and your GI, as long as you get your calories in the ballpark, or will this result in excessive fat accumulation?

The reason I ask is, I have only heard of cheat days in the context of cutting diets.

if you're bulking with 3600-4000 calories, you're allowing yourself to consume so many calories on a regular basis that i just don't see why you'd need to cheat.

i mean, i know you can't eat sweet stuff like candy bars or ice cream, but you can eat peanut butter, grilled fish and chicken, and an endless list of great foods. The only thing is you can't eat processed sugars, but the key is there's enough tasty foods you can eat to make up for that

My point is: every time you feel like eating ice cream, make something to replace it (mix some dairy e.g. milk, cottage cheese, yogurt with some healthy cereal , peanut butter, and honey...it tastes decent and it's better for you)

they key is to satisfy the sweet craving with other foods

I'm bulking now and my trainer said you really should try not to go nuts in any 1 day-just eat around 100g carbs a day-this keeps me from cheating

Are you implying that this is a lot of calories to bulk on?

I applaud you guys who bulk clean. I wish I wanted it bad enough to bulk clean on 5-6,000 calories per day. I'd be a god damn monster.
