how do bodybuilders have cheat days where they eat 10k calories of junk food and sugar and still remain in top condition?

Question

I occasionally see this on social media where bodybuilders will gorge on giant meals of desserts and junk food and somehow dont end up with diabetes, become ill in general, or just wreck their physique. I understand they probably eat healthy on other days that we dont see, but still it seems odd to not have any negative effects from these wild cheat day binges.

The true answer here is steroids. And they don’t.

Sure you can absolutely eat 10k calories in a day but working that off? Look up YouTubers trying to burn 10k in a day. It’s barely possible. Those social media posts are for clout. Why any bodybuilder would train to be 5% body fat and eat these “cheat meals” doesn’t make sense. The cake is a lie.

Ever see The Rock actually eat the bs he posts?
