Skip a meal or Cheat

[nikkita]

Bro, for once,

PLAY ALONG!!!

scenario is simple: skip or cheat, suppose you are caught in McDonalds hell: Mcdonalds one after the other for 10 blocks

Well, assuming that you're out of food and you desperately need to eat... cheat food is better than no food.

However, this doesn't mean to "cheat you ass off".

Therefore if you fail to plan, you are doomed to fail.

It pretty much would never happen when I am cutting I am so prepared but if it did I would skip the meal.

Like QT said it would never happen, I'm so prepared at all times, I have extra food everywhere, in my purse, gym bag, office, other people's houses lol.

But if it were to happen for some funny reason, I would not skip a meal, me skipping a meal is pure torture for anyone in my presents. I turn into without food.

I would order a grilled chicken burger, tell them no sauce or toppings, and toss the bun.

Interesting, seems people would rather cheat than starve.

Agreed, you can always try and minimize the damage, but the message looks clear enough: Eat something, don't wait. Try and make as little damage as you can, but don't skip

Yeah, the damage will be much worse the leaner you are also. If for instance single digit bodyfat, the body wants to preserve fat stores as it is(internal program from early times, being chased by predators, running through endless deserts, etc.), and will quickly cannabalize existing muscle tissue in that long of a time.

Personally, I've found it easier to stay lean once you're lean..I have more cheat meals than when I was at a higher body fat. Some board members can confirm this...having seen me and my eating habits.

Confirmed by the PM I just got saying I look "yummy."

seriously....its a way of life now.....but you could def. find something.....salad and chx is in 99% of resteraunts....

I play it either way, depending on my need for fuel and the food choices available. Not eating is cheating also, and even readily available food choices have positive sides. I try and figure out what my body is telling my mind in each situation and go with it.

Couldn't agree more.
