Its a decision -- I mean it depends on how you deal w/ things. For ex, if I have ANYTHING that is remotely satisfying to eat in the house, I eat all of it. (And I can consume quantities of stuff that scare me....) I've thrown 3 jars of ANPB out my backdoor and into the wash behind my house in the last year. I cannot have that shit in my house - I'll sit there w/ a handful of Splenda packets & a spoon and kill the whole thing & then be backed up for 3 days.
But then on my current diet, I had a period of time where 2x / day my protein shake was 2 scoops + 1 tbsp ANPB -- I actually just added a little water & made a pudding out of it. Never once even thought about extra ANPB so that was no problem. But I also realized I'm 12 weeks out from a very high visibility competition and I dont' have time to fuck around anymore. How important is it to you? If you are in competition mode - you either do it or you don't. There's no room to f* around. If your goal is not competition but to get to a certain point, depends on how fast you want to get there. And the final thing I've discovered is that once I set up a consistent, clean diet for about 3 weeks - everythign just starts burning off like clockwork. If I throw some shit in there its like throwing mud in the tank of a high performance vehicle. It just ain't gonna run so good anymore. And then you have to clean the shit out and start over.
But at the end of the day you have to make the decision. I have to do all or nothing. Most people give me this look like OMG I CAN"T GIVE UP MY *whatever*! So you have to suggest some viable alternative. But that's how my mind works.
Subsequently, I have no social life to speak of either. But that's another story.
