To Guys that do gym and lift weights, Do you completely block out fun meals?

[Anonymous]

Do you completely block out sugar and everything and just focus mainly on your desired shape? Or you have fun meals too while getting it like beer and stuff? I am asking this because my boyfriend just started it and he's getting real deep about it. I don't know if he could take that much but he have cancelled our date because it wasn't his cheat day date he planned lol

[Errhh]

It's always usually more strict when you're just starting... BUT?
... must your "dates" always consist of awfully trashy foods? ...

Ditching trashy food for a healthier way of eating should not mean putting fun or dates off.. That's weird. If you're a fun person, you'll find fun in anything, not just in unhealthy foods.. Besides that's makes no sense to me... You can go somewhere else on a date and not specifically out to eat a plate full of diabetes and cholesterol.. Etc etc.. .. You can always eat healthy and then go out on a date to do some thing fun, rather than going to stuff your face.. In my opinion there are far more FuN things to do than "eating"..

And it also doesn't mean you can't EVER eat out, you can.. Just not every day, plus you can always order something that is not so awfully unhealthy. But since you said he just started, hats when you should be the strictest with your diet to actually see any results.

And side note... If you eat a lot, especially unhealthy foods, that is likely to to lead to a relationship without much intimacy.. No sex! 😯😯!!

I can chug whole keg and still be ripped OP altho it's not always about being jacked or ripped, I eliminate mostly all sugar and dirty carbs and eat really clean and switch to naked food, chicken breasts and boiled everything when I am around season. It's just varsity but my dad always taught me to push my limit of my bod in weight room and outside to be more athletic and overall give higher performance out on field and I like to follow it

[Asker]

So you go on and off during whole year?

[Polocrew]

I am on all time, Just get real on in those 3 months period

[Asker]

Wow is it easy to adjust for you?

[Polocrew]

Yep well that's because I am beast doe lol

[Asker]

Ha seems like it

[Polocrew]

It is like it OP

[GingerGuy]

Depends on the guy. Some guys (like women to) get really into it and serious about it. I would work out 3 times a week and I wasn't looking to be the next male model, I just wanted some weight loss but I didn't get too crazy (I love to eat and wasn't giving up the things I love lol). But I did watch how much I ate and of what to some degree. Also how often I ate them.

[BertMacklinFBI]

nah i have fun on the weekends

[Asker]

Those are my bfs cheat days too lol

[BertMacklinFBI]

he could bring his own meals on your dates or order healthy items off the menu lol. i do it all the time

[Asker]

Wow that sounds awkward

[BertMacklinFBI]

do what you gotta do.

you want date night and he wants to stick to his meal plans? it is what it is. that or he can ask the waitress to modify one of the dishes, chicken breast no skin, no sauce, extra veggies, sweet potato on the side.

[Asker]

isn't that little weird

[BertMacklinFBI]

ordering a custom healthy meal? no.

bringing own food? it is unorthodox, but if you're both having fun it shouldn't really matter.

if you're both at the restaurant to eat together and enjoy a meal then he can just order something healthy, that isn't a problem with you right?

[funny_strange_man]

@BertMacklinFBI Have you ever brought your own food to a restaurant to have instead of ordering?

[BertMacklinFBI]

@funny_strange_man i did a few times. i had my goals and didn't wanna break them. really didn't bother me or anyone else at all lol. it was just chicken and veggies in a lunch box.

[funny_strange_man]

@BertMacklinFBI what actually restaurant is going to allow someone to bring outside food in instead of ordering from. the menu? I do not know of one.

[BertMacklinFBI]

@funny_strange_man i know of a few, and most fast food places don't mind either.

[funny_strange_man]

@BertMacklinFBI Fast food places do not count in my book. There are no restaurants that allow you to bring a lunch box with food

[BertMacklinFBI]

@funny_strange_man well i speak on behalf of my own experience, the vietnamese restaurant i go to doesn't mind if we bring outside food or our own food, because that's where I have done it. yeah I guess fast food doesn't count, that's where I mostly did it, since my friends and I hardly go to dine-in restaurants. but out of the dine-in ones we went too, they did not mind.

What my meal prep looks like. I'll enjoy myself on the weekends sometimes. I'm pretty strict for the most part though.

[BertMacklinFBI]

i remember this.

[Fearless_banana]

@BertMacklinFBI Yeah it's an old pic.

[MakeShiftThug]

Just curious but do you buy your food in bulk and then freeze it or do you cook something each day?

[Fearless_banana]

@MakeShiftThug I usually cook in the morning because I like fresh food but that pic was for a couple days.

[MakeShiftThug]

Oh okay, thank for your answer!

[06CuriousMind]

@Fearless_banana I've thought about doing that.. but how do you find room in your fridge for all of it? i have too much food to be able to have a whole bunch of tubberware stocked in there too

[Fearless_banana]

@06CuriousMind Usually put it in the fridge drawers. I always find room. Tupperware doesn't take up much space at all

[Harbor]

I eat whatever I want and when I want and still look and feel great. However, most of the time I crave wholefoods i. e healthy foods as oppose to junk food but that doesn't mean I'm scared to eat cake :P

[MakeShiftThug]

I know my buddies stick to a strick diet plan and protein, carbohydrates and fiber. And they try to avoid sugar and dairy etc.

I eat whatever I want, not necessarily crap but I'm not too focused on aesthetics more on functional strength and power for martial arts.

[Anonymous]

I try to limit sugar as much as I can. No soda, Water, tea etc. I have fun meals on Saturday. I eat whatever I want however I don't eat everything on my plate. Pizza until I'm not hungry BUT I almost always have that one more or 1/2 a piece.
I don't think I would cancel a date. It's our time. Manly or not I'd order chicken or a salad.
Beer? A few light beers are OK.
He can't keep up that pace. Insanity will come.

[funny_strange_man]

What do you drink then

[Opinion Owner]

@funny_strange_man I didn't word it correctly. No soda just water & tea.

[Decentguy]

i do cheat meals sometimes. but i have to be careful what im eating

[takumii]

I am not trying to get big muscles, just trying to get my body fat percent to 10-12% and yea I eat no junk, not even cheat days.

[jwhit]

Cheat meals keep me sane lol

[Asker]

Haha I guess yea
