For those that compete.....diet question....

[serge]

i cheat meal per week (if you want to call it that), i go out and fill-up on sushi ussually at a sushi buffet, afterwards i might have a sunday

BUT YOU DEFFINETLY DONT WANT TO TAKE AN ENTIRE DAY OFF YOUR DIET, IT SETS YOU BACK TOO MUCH AND TAKES DAYS TO RECOVER FROM

Cut them cheat days out JG, Im telling you, you will notice the difference. If you feel like you need a cheat day to stay sane, then throw 1 in every 2 weeks. But once you get in the habit of no cheat days and you begin to notice the results, believe me, when that cheat day you scheduled for every 2 weeks comes around, you wont want to cheat.

I think thats what I'm gonna start doing bro'.

God thats the one thing I'm gonna miss....SUSHI!!!

I used to get Sushi every Sunday, and order like 4 Philly hand rolls (smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado ) along with the sushi.

I know

I know

treat junk food as an addiction........once you go without it for a couple of weeks you dont want it anymore, but sushi without the cream cheeze or any other fat-loaded toping is great, its not junk food by any means and filling up on it once per week is NOT going to hurt your progress

I do 2 carb load meals a week at night. Looks like this:

16 oz sweet potato, 1.5 cups oatmeal, and a banana. Keeps the thyroid from down regulating.

Quad

this sounds like a better idea than having just an all out cheat day. I personally do not have cheat days while preparing for a competition but my carbs don't dip below 250 grams/day and my calories never dip below 3500 either. - cbeaks

Check out what a typical cheat day for me used to look like.

meal 1: (after 60 minutes of cardio) 50g whey/1Tbs fish oil
meal 2: Japanese bento box.....japamese salad, miso soup, chicken and shrimp tempura, california rolls, chciken teriyaki, and a couple philly hand rolls....300mg r-ALA
meal 3: 2 detour bars, then go out for icecream , usualy 3 large scoops of hand dipped icecream (peanut butter, cookies and cream, butter pecan) in a prezel cone...300mg r-ALA
meal 4: Dinner at PF Changs....kung poa shrimp, mongolian beef, fried rice, soup, appetizers...300mg r-ALA
meal 5: 8oz chciken breast



LOL, tell me I wasn't setting myself back with this weekly feast...
