My rule of thumb if you eat a healthy meal, you're able to reward yourself with some sweets. i.e.
something like this, eat a chicken breast + fruit + vegetables + rice + water = Cookies for dessert.
Or, if you've had a hard workout, you can reward yourself to some sweets. Rewarding yourself is a good thing, keeps fun in life. Sometimes, strict dieting (i.e. no sweets) may bring you down. Live a little
However, I only say this because I personally lost 50 lbs. and then started to gain muscle. Same as you. I don't focus on losing weight anymore, I focus on gaining bulk/mass/muscle.
If we were both fat again, I would recommend no sweets but we are skinny! lol :winning:
Re: Alcohol
You still drinking 1 day of the week? That's awesome. I'm still drinking 2 days of the week and then feel guilty come Monday. I drink on Friday and Saturday night's only. I drink heavy, exotic beer that's loaded with alcohol, sugars, and carbs.
I need to become like you and only drink once a week, choose Saturday night to get wasted
My personal trainer actually advises me to drink both nights. Beer is my hobby and I enjoy drinking and hanging out. She says if I maintain a 5-day exercise schedule (Monday - Friday) that also includes eating healthy that I should reward myself to beer on the weekends. Reward myself and live life.
