I am not doing any calorie cycling at the moment but if I do a cheat meal, should I drop calories a bit lower the next day? (this day would be leg day)
thanks.

Do 2-4 cheat *meals* per week... Have it on leg day and back day, I'm doing a friends diet-currently lean bulking...he is doing 2ml cyp and dbol for 6 wEeks...anyway he is doing 3 cheat meals a week and still dropping fat while gaining...although fatloss isn't the goal, we just don't want to add fat....do 20min cardio 15incline and 4km per hour on the treadmill 3 times a week...
You don't HAVE to cheat, but it keeps you sane and its gonna help bulking, just don't overdo it
Oh and another tip I learned from dj, have 1000mg Alpha Lipoic Acid and 200mcg Chromium 20mins befire and after your cheat meal...they will help insulin levels so that they
don't get too out of control...
Oh and don't frop calories the next day, you need them to build muscle and more muscle = higher BMR = more calories burned...
Just be patient and hang in ther bud, goodluck

I think I'll stick to one cheat meal a week since I'm not on gear at the moment
but this helped.
I'll get hold of the ALA and Chromium and I'll hit that exact cardio routine.
shot guys

It's a supplement. Look in the Dischem vitamins section
