My diet officially ended this morning when a bunch of my friends and I went to Shady Maple for breakfast. The following items were consumed by me: 6 eggs, 1 belgian waffle, 1 doghnut, 10 strawberries, 1 grapefruit, grapes, canadian bacon, sausage, 8 pieces of bacon, 1 pancake, glass of milk, glass of OJ, glass of cranberry juice, glass of mango drink, 2 cups of coffee. Most satisfying meal ever. Me and my one friend were competing for the most food. I think it was pretty much a tie. Good thing I had that coffee or I would have sliped into a coma during the drive home from the insuline response. Aight, I have to go take the hugest shit ever (good cardio), later. ~PorchDawg
Sorry bro, but that does’nt sound like much of a cheat meal to me.On the last Sunday of every month a couple of friends and I blow the keto out of the water with a hogfest down at our local Pizza Hutt. They have an $11 all you can eat deal going - we give ourselves a 60 minute time limit and only the thick crusted pan fried slices count. All of us routinely demolish over 20 slices, the record currently stands at 29. BTW, if you chuck up, you are DQ’d on the spot. At 750 calories per slice, a 25 slice effort weighs in at 18750, which means it only takes 3 or 4 bowls of ice cream from the desert bar to crack the obligitory 20 000 calories.
Yes, Diplodocus sized steamers are the dropped for the next 36 or so hours, which actually makes it easier to stick with the low carbs and small feeding portions for the next month.
Funny enough, all of this doesn’t really effect our physiques as much as you could resonably expect. Granted, we look like shit for a few days due the the sodium, but fat gain is hardly noticable.I’m guessing that the body has only enough enzme to digest and convert a certain ammount of food in one hit.
ah yes, cheat meals. lets see, last cheat meal (about 6 weeks ago) ate an entire large dominos pizza in about 10 minutes. also, once ate 2 chipolte burritos (gigantic humungous really big burritos) in about 15. my buddy had 14 doughnuts in about 15 minutes. thanksgiving 2001, i ate a whole large box of crackers and the big ball of cheese, which is like a pound or 2 (dont know what its called but im sure you guys know what im talking about)
After a contest I like to rub a 1/2 gallon of cookie dough ice cream(blue bell) on my wife and then proceed to eat it
right on bro, if your gonna cheat might as well do it the right way.
Greatest cheat meals ever are found in the northern VA area:
the wing factory, all you can eat wings and drinks for 12.99
My record is 52 wings, and these wings… they’re large
You beautiful, lucky Bastards!!! (LOL!!!)
If I ate these kind of “cheat” meals, it would totally wipe out 8 to 12 weeks worth of work!
(Wow…it sure is great living vicariously through you, though…anybody with some more great “cheat” meals??? :-)—!!!)
heres one i remember from last year that gave me some good filling, but bad gas. (yes i remember them all, seeing as they come one every 2-3 months.) 3 HOME MADE GRILLED hotdogs. one with chili and melted, 2% cheddar cheese, one with ranch dressing, and one with ketchup, mustard, and relish. wow talk about being bloated. BTW, these were not pussy hot dogs either. jumbo franks.
Here’s some Doug Hepburn diet advice from his Steel Spiel: Twelve scrambled eggs, entire sandwich loaf toasted, entire chocolate cake, washed down with a quart of milk seemed to do the trick…one day I ate sixty five eggs…I’d walk out in the middle of a routine and go lay on the beach for a few days and eat a load of milk and bananas…
I feel your pain, buddy. A “cheat” meal for me is having an extra 1/4 cup of oatmeal at breakfast! I’m 21, and I haven’t had dessert, pizza, potato chips, pasta, candy, or any other real junk food since my junior year in high school when I was a fatty. Nonetheless, I still gain fat very easily if I get too greedy by upping my calories while bulking. I’m going to go sulk…
My favorite NYC cheat meal for myself and a lifting buddy is Porterhouse steak for four at Peter’s Luger’s steakhouse in Brooklyn with garlic whipped mashed potatoes, onion rings, creamed spinach, chased down by lots of brew and an obscene dessert. Shake it uuuuuup!!!
Boyz,
Nothing will top my July 4th binge last year. It was after ripping for well over 1.5 months at an average of 2300kcal while expending around 3,000…Funny thing was, I never understood back in those days why i was hungry. I devoured everything at the family picnic and almost threwup that night. Chicken, pretzles, rice krispey treats, hoe-hoes, you name it, I guzzled it. The next morning, I was bloated from the sodium load, but it was more of a psychological traumata. I dieted severely the next five, and after the fifth, endogenous protein catabolism had clearly set in. Guess the binge can only amount to a certain level of fat gain.
Oh was I so hungry!
Anyway, Now I have developed binge management plans. I try to do it healthfully if I know its coming on. Last binge included:
4 boxes of Puffed Kashi.
Out Vain

I’m not even going to list what Ko has eaten in one typical day. I will add this: every September in Portland there 's a even called “Bones -n- Brew” where the BEST Barbecue joints in the country gather and you can eat all the best baby racks, pork ribs, sausages,etc. here. We try to get samples from every booth and one full dinner. And every morsel is followed by beer. Ko can go more into specifics, but one night, two years ago, he doubled up on the samples - oh, and how he paid for it later! he he he
But damn good barbecue and beer is a beautiful thing. :-)
you know, i slightly feel your pain, but obviously not to the extreme. i take a cheat meal once every 4 weeks while bulking, and once every 2-3 months while cutting. thanksgiving is the only day where i go all out all day. and while im VERY endomorphic, i really dont think the extra calories hurt me. just mentally!
The fact that the words “Pizza Hut” and “Dominos” are being used in the same sentence as “cheat meal” is very disturbing. Just the mentioning of those insidious establishments in New Jersey is considered an insult…but cheating with cardboard topped with dog food??? It’s just a downright shame.
Wow are you that bad? I am a former fatty and lost 88 pounds 2 years ago but can still have an all out cheat day and then 2-3 days later I am back to where I was before the cheat day. Man I thought I had it bad. This might be the reason why I can’t get below 10% though. I don’t have all out cheat days every week but maybe once a month. Every week I have a cheat meal though.
That’s an interesting opinion.I guess in your view I should stand facing the corner of the room while wearing a pointed hat. There’s about 720 hours in a calander month, I follow a strict bodybuilding lifestyle for 719 of those.I suspect that most of the other posters are the same - these feasts are very few and far between.As for the cardboard and dog food, well, I’m gonna shame myself beyond redemption by visiting 2 institutions of insidium on the last day of the month and consume 30 000 calories. Joel, while I respect dedication, total and blind devotion to anything will eventually lead to trouble. High priest of righteous,be mindful, some of your alterboys may talk in their sleep.
Once after following a pretty low carb cutting cycle religiously for about 8 weeks, i lost it. It started off by me deciding that i would “just” have a low fat ice cream sandwich of my moms…it didn’t end there. Once i got the taste of carbs in my mouth is was over. I ate 4 ice cream sandwiches, followed by about 1/4 of a quart of ice cream that was left in the freezer. In the fridge i squirted a little ready whip directly into my mouth to top it all off, and thats where i found the real monster. My mom had bought a giant bucket of ready to bake chocolate chip cookie dough. I won’t go into details, but i ate a shitload. Raw. As i was coming to my senses, i remember glancing at the nutritional content, one tablespoon was 90 calories, all sugar and fat…and the whole pale had 96 servings in, which i demolished a sizeable portion of. A few bites of peanut butter right out of the jar and it was off to insulin induced sleep for me. btw I did all this at a bodyweight of 165lbs (9% bf…when i started! j/k)
You know I see Joel’s point. There’s a Dominos and a Pizza Hut - oh and a Burger King and McDonalds practically on every corner. I see cheat meals as a celebration, a way of rewarding myself after such dedication. I would very much rather go and eat Dim Sum at my favorite Chinese restaurant or get a dinner of hanger steak and mouth watering dessert where Ko works (a four star restaurant). Or even barbecue. Oh my god, a huge dinner of pork ribs, with mashed potatoes and a slice of pecan pie.
Joel ain't bein' "high and mighty" he's just wondering the same thing I am. Like why waste a meal that should be a reward for days or weeks of dedication in training and diet with something so mass produced like a Dominos?
They do a similar thing here in Houston once a year to what you were talking about Patricia.The sherriff’s department puts it on for charity,and you pay 5 bucks to get in.It’s a wild game cook-off and very booth just gives out as much chicken,ribs,brisket,wild boar,ratllesnake,armadillo et al. that you could possibly want to eat.All the local departments from the FBI, DEA, and federal marshalls on down to the locals has a booth.Oh yeah, they all also give out beer in most booths, or you can donate 5 bucks for a coozie from one stand and they will keep your coozie filled with a fresh beer every time you walk by.
