Cheat meals. I had 2 cheat meals This week.
I go to the gym 5 times a week. How long would it take to burn off a takeaway.
Does anybody else have Cheat meals

How long is a piece of string?

If 90% of your diet is as it should be, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Aside from that, it depends on the calories in the 'cheat' meal (I hate that term) and what your average daily calorie intake is like

kebab meal. Taco chips. No bad meals in 8 weeks. And before that 5 months ago. The next bad meal plan is in 5 months time

I don't like the term cheat meal, it implies something shameful, also the phrase 'I fell off the wagon' there is no wagon. In your opinion you slipped up, we all do relax get back to it, try again, don't stress.

i find it strange that someone who dedicates enough time to going to the gym 5 times a week, wouldn't understand a "cheat meal". Of course other people have them.

What do you do in the gym to "burn it off"? How long are you in the gym? Are you lifting heavy weights or an a cross-trainer for 30 minutes?

Need some more info to give any help..

main thing is just forget about it, it is one meal.

2 weeks of Insanity program. Then back to bulking up. I know you lose some muscle from cardio . But that's the fun building back up. Someone said to me. 1 bad meal won't make you fat. And 1 good meal won't make you strong & healthy.

meals are calories, figure out how much calories you eat and how much you use each day.

So basically add all those calories up, then figure out how much you burn per day, your bmr + how much you exercise.

If you think of how many calories you consume in your 5 months between cheat meals you will see that one meal is completely inconsequential.


AS to how long it takes to burn an amount of calories it will depend on the exercise and intensity but a takeaway could have a couple thousand calories depending.
