When to Cheat . . .

[Cro Magnon]

What do you think, guys and gals: better to place a cheat meal the day/night before a workout . . . or right after?

My vote goes for right after the workout....

Don't cheat
If you must then do so after an intense workout...(if this is simple sugars) never eat too much fat after a workout or you'll delay protein/carbohydrate absorption.

when it's a high carb or high fat meal eat it earlier so u can burn most of it during the day or in the gym......just don't cheat late in the evening

just cheat with good foods. You can go out to fast food and still come out of your meal relatively healthily. I go to carls jr for my cheats and get charb. chx sandwich on wheat. Aside from teh sweetener in the bbq sauce.. there is virtually no fat, a shitload of protein, and great carbs in the whole wheat bun. It tastes good too

I think either early in the morning so later on you can have a killer workout and burn it all off.
