Will I gain fat?

[_marcyy]

so for 5 days I've been clean eating on a meal plan that my nutritionist assigned me to lose weight (fat loss) and today i felt like having a cheat day but not overboard. I just had a lot more carbs than im assigned to (i ate like 6 pancakes) and increased on my sugar intake ( desert,2 cookies and leftover pancakes). what im wondering is if i'll gain any fat. i didn't go all out on my cheat day just said yes to some foods i usually say no to.

Nah, you'll be fine. Your nutritionist meal plan is also about creating sustainable habits. Your cheat day is a little heavy on carbs, but that's okay. Gaining fat is based on your net calories. If you have a negative net caloric intake, you will lose weight.

Example:
my goal intake is around net 1900 to lose one pound a week. Since Pokemon Go came out, I burn an extra 1000 calories a day. This brings up my intake to 2,900 calories a day to burn one pound a week.

One day is not going to hurt you. Just remember that changing your diet is about creating good habits. The weight will follow later.

You loose fat if your intake is lower than your consumption. Fat burning is not a minute to minute action. It is a process on a longer timescale. So, if your cheating does not disturb that summed balance, it will be OK. But realize it will slow down the process. And really, 6 pancakes? That is normally a portion for three people.

As long as your cheat day doesn't become a cheat week, you'll be fine

Not necessarily it depends on your body like some people all they have to do is stare at a cookie and gain two pounds others could eat all around and not gain at all. If you did go up your body fat percentage would only be up maybe 2-3% , plus it's okay to have a cheat day dont worry about it much.

Yes you will. In a diet it is much harder to gain than lose. Your cheat day probably ruined your work. You can't overeat. A cheat day can include sweet fruits or something like that but don't eat so many pancakes and cookies. Also the pancakes were probably covered in syrup so that's even worse. And what diet are you on that allows for cheat days?
