cheating question...

[WODIN]

alright i know the obvious answer is to not cheat at all. getting that out of the way here is my question:

for instance, today at work there were kripy kreme donuts. i had to give in and ate a few. now, im on a cutting diet. since i ate a ton of carbs in these donuts, should i cut back on my other normal breakfast which is oats? i figure since i already had taken in so many calories i shouldnt. i hope this is stated clearly. or for instance if i know im going to go out and drink at night, should i not eat my last small meal of the night because i know i am already going to be getting calories from drinking and the key is not too many cals to screw my cut. hope this is clear. thanks bros.

The problem with these types of foods are that they cause an Insuline Spike and are High GI carb foods which pretty much go straight to fat stores. Do some research on LOW GI carb foods you can incorporate for cutting. Which means no sweets, sugars, candies, nada....zip.

i know all about the GI scale and its effects. that was not the question. my point is, i was trying to stay at or below a certain calorie level, so if i messed up and ate some stuff i shouldnt have (IE: donuts) should i continue and eat everything else that day like i normally would have. this would put me over my desired calorie level. that is the question i raised.

Eat all the protein and fats you would have...think about losing some of the carbs. But bust your ass in cardio as soon as possible. There will still be negative effects...but you can minimize them.

Who would cut over Christmas anyway?

Why?

Bulk in December, cut some other time.

I don't mean to make you feel like I'm dumping on you.

I just mean, at some point during the year you're gonna bulk. Why not do it December? Calories in are higher, temptation is way higher, etc. If you had to pick one month out of the year where cutting is the hardest IMHO it would be December. If you had to pick one month out of the year where bulking was easiest IMHO it would be December. I figure you might as well make it work for YOU instead of making YOU work for it.

No one likes feeling like a fat slob, but I don't think eating for a couple of weeks or so are going to make you a fat slob if you're still hitting the iron.
