So I decided a while back to not enter anything on my one day a week where I eat tons of carbs. What would happen to me when I did was I would get pissed at myself even though I knew that deep down it was productive to eat lots of carbs and have a re-feed. I am very OCD about my macros so on this one day It would bother me that my numbers were much higher than the other 6 days of the week where I keep my carbs and fats lower. I felt guilty on this one day and it was leading to me feeling like I had an eating disorder which is not good for a mental standpoint. These carb up days are supposed to be enjoyable, not bring negative energy upon yourself. I remember when I was younger and I never ever counted macros and still worked out and stayed lean. Don't get me wrong I didn't eat like **** everyday but there were days where if I got a certain craving for a burger or whatever I never gave it a second thought and just would get in my car and go enjoy it. Why I would get mad at myself for wanting to eat a couple pumpkin spice cookies or Ben N Jerry's Ice Cream for example as I have gotten older once a week? Thats not very fair to do to myself in my honest opinion. So I just put an end to counting macros on this day and just eating my meals till I felt full. The one thing I do on these days is work out twice. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I also make sure to get a good cardio session in as well. The following day its back to about 50 grams or less of carbs for the next 6 days.
Have any of you refused to count macros on your days that you enjoy some cheating?
