food and working out


Question Posted Wednesday March 18 2009, 9:22 am

ive been having cravings a lot latelyy! for chocolate and what not
but whenver i have some i get set off and end up having A LOTTTT more than i said i would have
anyways, ive been working out a lot lately, cardio and strength training and what not. is it okay to have a "bad food night" once in awhile or will i end up gaining weight? i went 6 days working out and eating verrry well and then i ended up splurging today. will i gain weight tomorow and ruin all my weeks worth of hardwork!???
i had about 10 girlscout cookies, a burger king hamburger and more chocolate. i would say about 1500 calories more than i usually consume.. (usually consume 1500 a day) so today i consumed 3000 calories. i didnt workout today, but i have been for the last 2 weeks really hard, will i burn these calories off or will i gain weight tomorrow?!
( bythewway im about to go to sleep... )

It is ok to have a cheat day once in a while. Its probably best if its not a total binge, but even if it is it will not make you gain weight. Just make sure you get back to your routine the next day.

Ideally, cheat meals are better than cheat days, and with cheat meals you can have them a bit more often. I do admit though that I too use cheat days... one every 2 weeks, where the gloves are off so to speak :D I have never to this day experienced weight gain from them.

But don't obsess tomorrow, and don't weigh yourself either. Set one day every week where you weigh yourself at the same time of the day (ideally in the morning, before breakfast). That way you won't panick from small fluctuations.

Good luck.
