LOL, you just did what I do EVERY day :toofunny:
No. You're being strict and this is the third day since your last higher calories/carbohydrates. You've reached the 8-weeks mark of your cut - from now on, you should start seeing almost daily visible results, even with the cheating. And because you HAVE been so strict, I actually recommend scheduling in 1-2 meals a week where you allow yourself not to be strict.
^^^Agreed.
Yes. As I said in post #4, "You also don't need to train extra hard or be extra strict with your diet to "make up" for this - just continue as you were."
oh for a few examples, 2 1/3 pound burger patties with bacon and cheese, plus fries, a shake and then a stop for large peanut butter cup ice cream at coldstone. Another good one is pizza, i've manage to put down 2 whole pies in a cheat meal, that was an entertaining evening, I had people staring at me eventually at Cicis. I hate their pizza in general, but the kids like it. That cheat meal was probably close to 5000 cals, it was 22 slices of pizza, then 5 slices of their dessert pizza, and a couple other things off their dessert bar. i've done a whole roasted chicken along with cheesy mashed potatoes and a few beers. A full sized calzone, weighed close to 3lbs, around 18 inches across that the restaurant says normally feeds 2-3 people. At chilis, ordering their cheese fries and eating half myself, plus their blue cheese burger, fries and then random assorted desserts, plus some beer. My neighbors run a chinese buffet, so sometimes I go there, and i'm good for at least 3 full plates, plus a 4th plate full of just dessert items, and some ice cream. Can't think of any others offhand that have been really in that over 3000 calorie range recently. One that was close was buffalo barley soup, wild boar sausage, venison kabobs, a roasted quail, a wild rice blend, some corn, and a sort of funnel cake like pastry for dessert, plsu a couple beers. A couple beers is a pretty common theme in my cheat meals
But the main theme is I eat whatever the heck I feel like, and eat till I don't feel like eating anymore.
A whole pizza, large Papa Johns, The Works.
That is completely awesome! My wife always looks at me like Im nutz when I smash a whole large pizza while watching a hockey game then am hungry for a bowl of Wheaties an hour or two later.

For reference sake, although the following morning I woke up a good 3 or 4 pounds heavier on each of these, by the next day I was below where I was before the meals.
