Weekends

davidjparfitt

What's the best thing for me to eat on the weekends? Through the week i stick to the same diet plan, but when it comes to the weekend i don't know what to eat(I don't train on the weekend).

What do you guys eat on the weekend? Do you eat the same as through the week.

Your help would be very grateful.

Hi mate. Are you asking whether you can relax the diet over the weekend?

I think a lot depends on what your goals are and how strict you've been during th week. I know others don't necessarily agree with me on this but I think its okay to have a couple of cheat meals a week (not a couple of cheat days!).Therefore, if I've been strict all week, I might have a takeaway over the weekend. For example, I've had a good week and this morning I went out to get the papers. There's a cafe at the top of my road and the smell can be very seductive. So I treated myself to a bacon sandwich. My wife has just come back from the shops with some samosas and I might have one of them tomorrow. Nothing over the top, just a treat as its hard to be strict all the time

Having said that, if I do slip up in the week, the diet at the weekend will be the same as the rest of the week - i.e. very strict

Hi Squatty thanks for the reply. At first i very rarely had cravings, but lately i've starting to have them for things like crisps, chococlate bars, chips and gravy etc. Weird!!!!

I cant find whether you've already posted it on another thread, but what's your diet on weekdays like then?

You need to spoil yourself once in a while when your strict all week, I have a few cheat meals at the weekends, take today for instance I've had some oven chips with plenty of brown suace on them followed by a snickers.

My diet is the following:

8am Met rex Protein shake
9.30 Carbwise high Protein Bar 50g bar
12.30 Brown/ whole meal bread with tuna with banana and apple
4.30 Met rex Protein Shake with USN Creatine (Before training)
6.30 Met rex Protein Shake with USN Creatine (after Training)
8.30 Jacket Potato with Chicken Breast

That's a hard diet mate - no wonder you fancy a cheat at the weekends. Is there a reason why you only have two solid meals during the day?I would be aiming to add some oats at breakfast and have the 8.30 meal soon after your training

Thanks for the Info Squatty i'll try some oats at breakfast as well as my protein bar! cheers Dave

Nice one mate!!!

Squatty

I still think you'd be going a long time without a solid food meal; following your earlier post it would be 8am to 12.30. I would have the metrx with the oats at 8 and try and get something like a tin of tuna and a few rice cakes in about 10.30. Save the protein bar for when you have your cravings. Stick with the lunchtime meal and like I said earlier bring the chicken, jacket and veggies forward to soon after your training.
