I can eat clean all week, then crush a pizza buffet and still lose weight. One meal doesn’t offset a week of perfectly clean eating.

Thor is 420 lbs, 6’8”, has a Viking bloodline, and can flip a car. He is not comparable to the average person. Plus look at his regular diet, the majority is clean foods he has to force down to fuel his body. If you can deadlift over 1000 lbs than you can eat 17,000 calories once in a while.

Actually that breakfast wasnt too terrible. Just cut the toast back and its really not all that bad. At least I wouldnt think its that bad.

I prefer to eat healthy throughout the week and have a cheat day on the weekend. But mines look NOTHING like his lol. Allowing myself to simlply have bread, pasta or chips is cheating for me because I stay under 50 carbs per day throughout the week. So usually I make something I've been craving all week like a burger, steak nachos or pizza. This weekend it'll be a philly cheesesteak😋😍😍

@@shivsaranshtv5101 since you replied after a year, I will as well. And my reply will be as brief as yours. 50 grams of carbs is healthy. Does not have to be Keto either.

Will a cheat meal once a week ruin my progress? I have 1 cheat meal every 7 to 10 days. Once in a while, I have 2 cheat meals a week. My goal is to lose fat and then build muscle. I workout 5 to 6 times a week. How often should I have a cheat meal without gaining fat or weight and without ruining progress I made in the gym? Is a cheat meal every 7 days too much? Is 2 cheat meals once in a while too much?

[@joshrodriguez7797]

No honestly ur good as long as its not a cheat day where you could reverse alot of progress, a cheat meal once a week is actually really good for you so you don't go crazy and eventually just go on a calorie binge, and any "weight gain" you see in the mirror next morning isn't at all fat gain its just water weight and bloating, and in one day you'll be back to where you before you had the cheat meal, consistency is key and deprivation diets arent at all good for consistency cuz ur setting urself up for failure and quitting

Calories in calories out. Caloric deficit is absolute. Research calories

[@worldwarz9317]

No. I was 240 pounds post pandemic. I workout 5 days a week. Sometimes 6 days a week. I have 1-2 cheat meals a week depending on the circumstances. Holiday etc. I mostly just have 1 cheat meal a week. I'm about 190 pounds currently. Looking very nice so far. So despite maybe going to burger king once a week or eating a pizza once a week instead I'm still dropping in weight and building muscle. Granted I don't eat candy or drink alcohol. And have water with my cheat meals but it seems to work for me.

It all depends how strict your diet really is and how hard you really hit the gym
