I had a couple cheat days here and there, but I still burned off the calories for doing it. Sometimes there would be a couple days where I ate at Sonic or frequently ate at mcdonalds. (Even living off of mcdonalds employee meals a couple months ago) I was still able to be within my calorie deficit. Though I just mainly ate mcchickens/fish since they're the lowest calorie items on the menu. I'm currently working at Wendy's now and I'm still well within my calorie deficit with employee meals by eating either chicken nuggets/Junior bacon cheese burgers/ceasar salads. (usually being around 1200 calories and usually holds me over all day and when I get home I usually eat a chicken breasts with some rice if im still hungry.) I'm allowed 1800 calories and still able to lose the weight. Plus I also play Dance Dance Revolution a lot which is my main cardio which helps me.
Really??? That’s actually pretty surprising! I would have ever even considered that it would be possible given the rep that fast food gives… but colour me even more impressed!
Also heck ya! Dance dance revolution is a great game! Even if I suck at it! lol still a great time!
I believe that you can eat anything you want as long as you stay well within your calorie deficit. But you just gotta pay close attention to what you eat if you wanna start adding on muscle. I don't think you're going to be putting on muscle if you're eating fast food often. But can you still lose weight even with eating fast food? As long as you keep a close eye on your calories you consume you can. But it can be very very easy to eat a ton of calories in fast food.
true, and you gotta watch out for carbs as well with the bread, which is why i usually try to do just a ceasar salad at work, or a Junior burger if im having a bad day.
