cheat meals while bulking

[cmdubs]

when you're bulking how often do you go off your diet and have a cheat meal? when I say cheat meal I don't mean a super-sized #2 from mickey d's with a large milkshake rather eating a few slices of pizza rather than chicken tits and rice - been finding it difficult to put on the lbs with clean food strictly

I'll have sugary things quite often post workout when I'm bulking. For example, pancakes and syrup as my carb source after a workout with a protein shake. I try to keep the fats on the low side.

only on weekends, one or two meals (separate days) from my diet but not forgetting to keep the same protein intake

I will eat strictly clean the entire week then on my leg day, I will have my 1 cheat meal. I always try to eat lighter throughout the day for my carbs but always try like Nikkita said keep the same amount of protein. For my cheat meal, I eat an enite 16 inch pie myself! Its my reward for eating clean ..I love cheat days

How many calories do you usually go over (% of BMR)?

Thanks.

Thanks.

as a % is hard to tell, shoot for starters at 500 cals over MAINTENANCE (not BMR)

Same here. A big meal of simple, fast sugar and flour. Makes me take in water, increases my waist line, makes my face fat ... But ... really bulks me up! Candy bars too. Snickers!
