Sport Another question - Binging

Sport Fitness
Sorry about all the threads people! I just have a lot of questions.

Ok so I've heard that some people binge once a week to keep there metabolisms going. Is this a good idea? Or should binging be done less frequently? Also, is it a good idea to binge for the whole day or just for one meal?

Once a week maybe too much. I'd say once every two weeks is more realistic.
 
What do you mean by binge? I don't plan to binge (although I do sometimes) but I do have a "free day" once a week. I still record everything I eat and make sure I don't overdo it. I don't really do it for my metabolism though as much as for my sanity! :)

I guess what I mean by binge is not so much stuffing yourself silly, but eating that greasy pizza and fat filled piece of cheesecake that you normally wouldn't have in your day to day diet.

A "cheat meal" is good yes, but just make sure it doesnt hinder any progress. Some people respond good to a cheat meal once per week and others respond better to once every 2-3 weeks like myself.
