      what do u do? and what do you think is worse for gains
      cutting or bulking i have a window where i eat what ever i want its just alot less when bulking, say today it was 4 hours
      when cutting i sometimes have a day

      i never cheat then rest of week so it works for me... carrot on end of stick but its works because now i feel physically sick and dont want to eat ha!

      i probably consumed about 5000 cals in that 4 hours, but rest of week im on point so IMO shudnt be too bad for lean ganing
      what do you do>?

      It depends how your mind/will power works.

      The majority of people probably find it easiest to have a single cheat day every so often. That way the limits of the cheat are clearly laid out and there's no margin for extending the cheat.

      Personally, I can't do a full or half day of cheats so I'll generally have 2/3 cheats here and there throughout the week. I get away with this because, for me, one small cheat doesn't lead to another and I can keep a lid on it.

      I have a cheat meal per week, mainly due to social reasons, I don't aim to have one purposefully.

      Mind you I had a very rare blow out today and have pretty much emptied the cereal cupboard along with pints of milk!...

      I have a window Paul gives me of 4 to 5 hours on a day that suits me.

      The only purpose of it is to fu*k up your metabolic rate and throw the body a curve ball, hence cheating daily does not achieve this as your body doesnt get used to your " diet " and calorific intake.
