Cheat meal frequency should be minimized when you’re over 15-20% body fat. Basically, the fatter you are, the more likely that any excess food will be shuttled toward body-fat storage rather than muscle mass. So skip the cheat meal unless you’re lean. And even then, think of it as an alternative food meal – not a cheat. Cheat meals are usually glorified forms of dietary debauchery. Alternative food meals allow for something a little different from the norm without the trough.

In the experiment Casey who had had lost a considerable amount of muscle mass following an accident prior to the experiment, trained using Nautilus equipment and high intensity training techniques.

From a physiological point of view most of the research suggests that the afternoon is the best time to train. Between about 4 pm and 7 pm, the muscles are warm and have already been somewhat prepared for training by daily activity. However some people just don’t have as much energy later in the day, so if your energy is highest in the morning, take advantage of it and train then. The bottom line is train when you feel best and go for it.
