the Holiday Eating thread
ladies and gents, I know most on here have better diet and eating willpower than your average joe, but if you are anything like me the holidays surround you with high cal, high fat, high sugar foods...and for some booze.
Eating right around the holidays can be a challenge for everyone. If you are on a cycle, the willpower may be easier to keep, or you might be a "I'm bulking so fuck it!" type.
For others, I will share what has worked for me to keep from getting a Santa belly during the holidays, and encourage others to post up what has worked for them.
I do this: BIG BIG gym day the day before a holiday meal, that way muscles are torn up and sucking up excess cal's. Usually chest or legs..even arms, but hit it hard so that my muscle fibers are really torn and ready to make use of excess cals. On the day of the holiday I rest, or push grandma around the block a few times in her wheel chair to get some low grade cardio, or if you are like 7gothic, you can go down to the local middle school and get in the thanksgiving day football game and show those little bastards what a man on gear can do (7gothic, if you read this, make sure you notch your belt for each pre teen footballer you hospitalize, cuz I want to see that pic of a belt with a shit load of notches)
Anyway, now that my muscles are ready to re-coup and will take lots of excess cals. Also, when you go for the first plate (cuz if unless you are un human, there will be a 2nd, even 3rd plate) Pile that bitch high with protein and veggies. Then on seconds, sample the carbs just don't over do it. Same with the sweets, sample don't pig on them. I find that after that first big plate with all the protein, and my family commenting on how good I'm being, I can usually be pretty good on the seconds and still enjoy some classic holiday carbs with out really over doing it. I don't have too much of a sweet tooth, so dessert of a coffee and maybe a cookie or 2 or 3 is not going to kill me.
Well, hope this has helped or entertained someone, anyone...bueller...bueller..anyone..
Lastly, Hope everyone in the community has a happy, safe, healthy holiday season!

I eat the same damn thing all Year long.
by the looks of your avatar and your menu you live right up the street and are eating at the resuraunt next door called rednecks plate. i had never eaten okra till i moved to the south. i will try to bahve this year but i know already it aint gonna happen. roasted turkey and pumkin pie(s). coconut cream pie and....sorry, food coma coming on just from the visions
Actually born and raised in the GA thats where the heart is .But living in the longhorn state now.
OE2000LMAO.... you got that right! Go Junior!
AnonMy family is always big into baking this time of year so instead of pretending that I don't want to eat all those goodies. Especially since I already know that while I am baking I sample heavily, I figure the only way to get rid of the extra calories is to go shopping. Yes, I am going to shop my way out of the extra caloric intake.
OE2000I'm that guy ---> "I'm bulking so fuck it!" type. Unfortunately, all the bulk goes to my waist...LOL and after a few bottles of wine, some chocolate chess pie..... its just gets ugly! Hopefully I'll have some willpower this year, but its doubtful.
Don't even try, fuck it.
I can't wait for the full belly, half buzzed out, tryptophan induced coma next week.
OE2000LMAO.... seems that my half buzzed out turns into completely liquored up! You know when you wake up on the couch with a half eaten turkey leg in your lap, then you yawn and realize you still have a half mouthful of dressing.....
I am going on a 7 day cruise starting Sunday, if anyone has ever been on a cruise you know that the food is included in your ticket purchase. I am not even going to nit pick what I eat, fuck macros, fuck cals, I am just going to eat and be happy. I have been on a pretty strict and aggressive cutting cycle anyway, so 7 days of nutrient rich and calorie dense foods should fill me out nicely and give me some pretty decent workouts/bumps in strength. Too bad the gym on the boat sucks.
HA!! I just eat EVERYTHING..that way at least I know I'm getting the protien I need to repair the muscle tissue.
As for those punks at the Jr. High, I'll wait untill I'm back on Deca...I don't wanna take any chances that I may not have the power I need to drive one of'em into a parked car, and then get my ass kicked.
Lololol!!! Oh the joys of Christmas! Here and gone in a weeks! Phewww!
Nasty81NateGood thread CA, I always hate triying to eat clean this time of the year.
That's why I don't try
I scheduled for my dbol to end just in time so I can drink during Thanksgiving a little.
