[superqt4u2nv]

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

I agree 100% even in the worst situations you can find something some what healthy and don't have to make it a fuill on pig out.

I think this has been asked before, I just wanted to see your opinions.

scenario: You are out, forgot to pack a meal, your last meal was 3.5 hours ago, you will be home in 4 hours. You are cutting

What do you do:

1. Skip a meal
2. Have a cheat meal (Burger, or something similar).

Suppose there are no HEALTHY alternatives available, no salad, no nothing, you either skip or cheat (one of those 800 cals burgers or so)

tough choice. For me if i'm really hungry i'll eat something small til' I reach home or the gym to burn off those unwanted calories!

To all those people saying you HAVE to eat over a period of 7 hours or your body will "start eating away at itself", what happens when you sleep?

Most of you are WAY too paranoid about dieting.

That being said, I don't really care either way when talking about the original question. Junk food won't kill you, neither will missing a meal. I'd say it depends on how hungry you are and how many calories you've already consumed for the day in relation to how many you are supposed to.

Trust me.......you could easily go a fujll day without eating a thing and will not lose an ounce of earned muscle..........might feel weak and lethargic, but it will have NOOO effect........as will eating junk food all day for a day.............overall, it will do nothing.

bull....never ever should or could happen, if so, I've yet to see it........cheating isnt an option. There is ALWAYS a grocery storem if there is a resteraunt or fast food.....if there is a resteraunt, there is always salad and broiled chx or some sort of protein......OR there is always a gas station that has jerkey, peanuts or almonds, skim mlk......these threads are common, failing to prepare is preparing to fail....if it's a scheduled cheat meal, go for it......if you are bulking go for it, or if you train for shits and giggle, go for it........precontest, forget about it.

Agreed. Will never happen where you HAVE to cheat.

Don't cheat - be stong drive on! If you run late for a meal just eat later move the clock up!

I'd eat the burger in a second, at least it got some protein and eating no food doesn't.
