“FREE TRANSFORMATION” Group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/builtfromwithin/⁠ Apply To "Built From Within" Coaching: @chrisperaginefitness Here’s the truth:🍕 One meal won’t ruin progress, but an uncontrolled cheat day will.🔥 You don’t NEED cheat meals—you WANT them. There’s a difference.💡 Reframe it as a ‘FREE meal’ instead of a ‘cheat meal’—this is about flexibility, not restriction. ✅ How to fit them in WITHOUT sabotaging results:📊 Know your weekly calorie intake—one day of overeating can undo a week of hard work.🍽 Cap it at 1,000 calories—not an all-you-can-eat binge.📝 Pre-track your meal—look up the restaurant menu beforehand.💪 Time it around a big training day for better recovery & muscle growth. The goal? Sustainability. If you feel like you "need" a cheat meal, your diet might not be working for you.
