It's not impossible, but it's easier to indulge once in a while on those urges than wait until they become a freight train you can't stop.
Also, it will prevent the metabolism from slowing as quickly. So, really even though you think you're setting yourself back by eating so much, you're only helping, and you'll see it on the scale.
I would do about 400-600g carbs that day, adequate protein (1g/lbs lean mass), and minimal fat (max of 70 or so grams). Caloric intake somewhere around 3,000.

400 - 600 grams?!?! That is a lot of damn carbs.... suggestions on the foods to take in on said days?
By the way, thanks for the input. I am a constant lurker of this thread and your opinions will definitely be ones I consider.
