Day of eating on my birthday during a bodybuilding competition prep

HOW I ATE 2800 CALORIES IN A DAY ON MY BIRTHDAY 🎂
My girlfriend wanted to celebrate my birthday, however, I'm currently in prep right now so this is her attempt to make a prep friendly birthday dinner for me.
To be able to accomodate for this, my plan was to hit my protein while keeping my calories as low as possible throughout the day to save on as many calories as I could.
Although I was well over my fats, surprisingly, I managed to hit my calories and protein that day 😏
My protocols are:
2800 cals
375c / 50f / 220p
10k steps per day
-
BTW that cookies and cream protein is literally one of the best tasting proteins I've had AND it's 40% off right now 😉😉

Eating something you enjoy for a special occasion is never "wasting calories"

This is literally how people talk who have eating disorders… saving/wasting calories 😅 that phrasing really rubbed me the wrong way.

[@priscillareviews4847]

@@clody1000 That's why I commented. Being gentle with oneself while being committed to goals makes all the difference. I wish dude the best!

[@l_eel_em]

Only because I'm prepping for a bodybuilding competition... But when I said 'wasting calories', I meant that I wanted to save as much calories as possible for dinner because I wanted to make sure I could have as much as I wanted to for dinner

[@clody1000]

@@l_eel_em I understand where it was coming from and I also understand the dedication and effort it takes when prepping for comps/reaching more advanced fitness goals in general, but that is the exact same thing people do who have eating disorders. They eat nothing or reduced loads all day in order to ‘save’ up their calories for a night out or a larger dinner. You can’t deny that the bodybuilding world is riddled with individuals who experience disorder and compulsive thoughts around eating and their body image. The point is that it was your birthday, and despite prepping for a competition, one day of indulging and eating is not enough to undo/stall/halt progress that you’ve made in a significant way. Either way you look like you enjoyed your day, the language used remains problematic :)

[@slashbat2375]

It actually takes very little honey to make greek yoghurt taste good! Heat up half a teaspoon of honey in the microwave for like 10 seconds which makes it easier to mix in and you're golden. You can adjust up to a teaspoon depending on how much yoghurt you're having. While honey does have slightly more calories per 100g than jam, you need significantly less of it to make greek yoghurt taste good.

can this be a satisfying lifestyle? like living “paycheck to paycheck”, forcing yourself in and out of eating disorders, suffering from body dysmorphia and all kinds of things just for aesthetics? i’m genuinely curious

[@Shploog]

paycheck to paycheck calorically

[@l_eel_em]

It's honestly not as bad as you think. I'd say the eating disorders would generally just come from extreme conditions like bodybuilding comp prep or if you never really had a healthy relationship with food in the first place. Sure I track calories, but I don't let that restrict me when I go out to eat with friends or have drinks. It's more or less just a healthy habit for me now to be aware of my nutrition. It helps me progress through training and have a goal. Especially if I want to be healthy and train for a long time, without a goal, I wouldn't have been able to keep this up for that long. And if I were to choose between looking good or being fat, I'd rather look good 🤷🏻
