Here's what I've found: by allowing myself a "cheat day" or even just a "cheat meal" once per week, I drastically reduce my cravings for junk the rest of the week. Mentally, it also makes it much easier for me to stay clean knowing that I'll have a "reward" for doing so in the form of my cheat meal. Also allows me to take out the Missus for dinner on a weekend - which is good for business :)

YMMV.

Dont snack on too much fruit man its all fructose. Eat 6-7 meals a day that fit in your macros and chew gum and drink a lot of water. You just need to get your body used to not eating crap all the time. As above i have a cheat day each week to keep me sane and reduce shot foods during the week

^^^ I was waiting for that one colt! I just want to cut down before I start a cycle so the gains are lean as possible. As in not just eating whatever to hit 5k calories

Dude there's nothing wrong with fructose. Besides the sugar content which a lot of foods have, fruit gives you much needed fiber, vitamins, minerals, flavanoids anti-oxidants etc. They are some of the best food choices to fit into a diet bc hey can help food cravings while still helping you get all your nutrients. A typical piece of fruit has low amounts of fructose anyway, about 2-6grams on avg of fructose, meaning you can eat plenty of fruit and not worry about fructose.

AlphaM: I'm usual snacking on fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt mixed with some cinnamon and fruit, a protein shake with milk, whey, and fruit, PB, granola, nuts and seeds (energy sense so be careful not to overeat), etc

Yo docd not doubting you at all i mnow your a very knowledgeable guy but doesn't an average size banana or apple have around 25g of carbs? Im not saying fruit is bad but when im down to 9-10% bf ill really limit my fruit intake to a couple servings a day which is a serving blueberries on my oats pwo and a banana post.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was jumping on your case, I was just typing quickly before going back to work.

Depending on size, yes it has around 25g of carbs but they're not all fructose. They have fructose, glucose, and sucrose. Now that you out your statement in a specific context yes it becomes a different story. The leaner you get the less cals you need so you need to make a decision as to what's most important bc you can't have everything. As you get leaner fruits are probably one thing that will decrease in consumption but only bc calories are limited and carbs (the predominant macro of fruit) are usually cut. Nothing is wrong with the fruit it just becomes an issue of context. Even when I've gotten lean though, I still try to get as much fruit as possible bc of all the nutrients they have and bc they can help suppress appetite with fiber and other minerals.

My shakes usually always have a banana and blueberries also. Sometimes I'll add raspberries and strawberries!
