@permadragons: i don't know why you need to eat a whole pizza?
like you could have some pizza for one of your meals but also eat at least two more. or pizza for lunch/dinner i guess. it's just you can probably find "cheat" foods that aren't so greasy/fatty and otherwise bad for you (so...look at nutrition info).

whole medium pizza + coke...wow I cant do that. Cant stand coke and most slices i can eat is 3-4. Play soccer = good fat burner so ur fine, dont worry but u must burn off after u pig out.

[quote=permadragons]oh thanks for the advice.. but a question, lets say i took out the can of coke, what could i eat instead that would be equal to the coke[/quote]

thats the thing, if you eliminate the coke and drink water , those calories that would otherwise be taken from the coke, now can be eaten...

idk, another pizza ?

Yes, you would totally become obese for eating a pizza because you don't exercise at all.

Yeah, thats not a good idea... it just shocks your system.

[quote=Fusion09]that reasonable but one word of advice. its better to eat the calories than to drink them. i know coke is good but if you drink water, you can have more food rather than coke.[/quote]

[quote=permadragons]how about 1 medium pizza and a coke for the whole day? like eating nothing else that day[/quote]

[quote=Deciduous]there's a difference between cheat days/indulgences and PIGGING OUT
like a whole pizza and some soda weekly is not good, maybe more of a monthly thing. but even with indulgences if you're doing that once or twice a month you can still find a way to keep them at a good calorie count (and low sodium, fat, etc).[/quote]

[quote=Fusion09]not worth it. just think about how awful you feel afterwards.. dont do it.

not PIGGING OUT at least. maybe a cheat day with some fast food or junk food but not eating too much[/quote]

how much is not too much? a medium pizza is actually pretty small
