Although mentally satisfying I do not like seeing the scale go up and having to work my butt off to get back to where it was before the binge. Seems to go like this - Binge one night = gain 3 / 4 lbs = takes a week to get it off. Makes no sense to me. Anyway I do it I think mostly to keep my sanity and because my body is craving stuff I have long deprived myself of. Enjoy - Just get back on track the next day. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< "Striving to be Better" "Maintenance is not a destination" “Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.”

Over Xmas despite eating loads more than usual over a couple of weeks I kept up my training and probably only gained a pound or 2 which went when I went back to my normal diet in about a week, so no biggie

Maybe 4000 seems high but on a training day I often burn 3000 calories so over the week it doesn't impact, esp if I'm under or maintaining the rest of the time. When I want to cheat. Boy do I cheat Barbecue ribs, fries, Hagen das ice cream and popcorn and bottle of fruit cider...my death row final meal right there
lenakh Joined: Apr 11 Posts: 184	quote Posted: 04 Feb 2013, 15:40 I thought the whole idea of a cheat day is to eat all you possibly can, not have to count, and not plan on burning exactly what you ate. I think that if you eat one day 4000+ calories, your body doesn't really absorb it all. There is a limit of how much of it stays, so the whole idea that once you eat over that amount, there is no point in stopping - might as well go all out and kill those cravings for the future. ~Lena The first person who should be in love with you is yourself, no matter how imperfect.

I would not necessarily recommend 2000 calories. Use the calculator, to make sure. The RDI (recommend det daily intake) varies a LOT from person to person. If you feel that you want a faster weight loss ...
