Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I doint the carb cycling recommended by Muskate, andI am loving it. I was curious to see what do you usually eat as cheatmeals on those carb loading days. I usually go for a hamburger, orsomething like that. A good homemade hamburger with lots of veggiesin it! What about you?

What are your cheat meals?

the burger itself isn't going to have the carbs, it is the bread
so what I do is simple. I will use green lettuce as my bun, instead of bread. and then i will make fresh guac and natural ketchup added in there. it tastes amazing!
as far carb cheat meals.. during football season when i am watching the game at home i will be all over wings and i like to have a slice of NY style pizza.

On the carb loading days, you want to keep fat as minimal as possible.

@muskate as meticulous as always - wish I were so disciplined. For me, it just depends on what I feel like eating. It can be a burger, or it can be a piece of pizza. I call it a little weekly party. Interestingly, I remember Dan Duchaine claiming that protein does not digest and get absorbed by the body if it goes without carbs, so hamburgers might seem like an interesting thing.
Cheat meals for me are pizza, wings, beer. I don't do it a lot so when I do I enjoy it and move on.
