Afternoon all,
Last night we went Out for a friends birthday, and it was also my bi-weekly cheat day where I had a reward day which normally consists of whatever I want to eat. We went for a meal with the family upon which I had a 16oz rump steak and a few beers! Was thoroughly enjoyable and makes all the hard training and dieting feel good to have a cheat day once every two weeks.
Lean Rump steak cuts is an ideal solution ideal for bodybuilders who are trying to pack on some serious beef (excuse the pun).
NUTRIENTS: A 4-ounce (weighed raw) lean rump steak has 138 calories, 24 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 4 g fat, 0 g fibre.
Rump steak tends to be a little fatty in comparison to some cuts like fillet steak and sirloin, but the fat that sits on the outside (usually) can be trimmed off.
Today is a high protein day again and low carbs (up to 100g) and this is day two before the re-feed Tuesday.
Today so far I’ve had a protein shake for breakfast, and some apple slices, and shortly I’ve got some fine cut butcher burgers courtesy of Sainsburys which il have either a 3 egg chilli omelette with or scrambled egg. Later on I’ve got venison steaks courtesy of Highland Game, Scotland.
With having a few beers last night i compensated not eating anything particularly “too bad” through out the day. Even though it’s a cheat day, I don’t go wild as I find it makes me feel sluggish, and I don’t enjoy it. However you may it gives you enough energy an drive to continue the training and diet for another 2 weeks before I have another cheat day as a reward.
I’ve just read this article and took this quote from it:
“That’s why using a weekly cheat day gives you a huge psychological benefit, to go along with the “internal” metabolism-boosting benefits.
Not only does a cheat day promote rapid fat burning through a series of hormonal effects, but it allows you to enjoy your favorite foods and look forward to indulging in them once a week. I think this is HUGE for most normal people who don’t have the discipline of a world class bodybuilder”
Il begin to post pictures next week of my progress.
Enjoy your day.
