    Well this has been very interesting... But in regards to your question, if it fits in my macros, I don't consider it a cheat. IIFYM takes into account more than just calories so that is my opinion. Now if it doesn't fit in my macros then I consider it a cheat, and that doesn't happen too often for me, maybe once a week or every other week, depending on my goals. But I never do a cheat day, only a cheat meal. I am not sure why everyone is so upset over two simple words.

    "cheat meals" = Contextual arbitrary argument.......

    With that said; do whatever you need to do, to meet your goals folks.....Why must we complicate the uncomplicated?????

    exactly! people see cheat meals as good, some see it as bad. whatever works for you, so long as you're getting closer to achieving your goals! we've got different bodies and ways on how to lose/maintain/gain the weight. for me, i just eat about anything i want so long as it fits into my calorie goal (i don't count macros because lazy haha), but that doesn't mean i should judge those who like having a cheat meal every now and then.

    Exactly! All my pro body building friends use the word cheat all the time. Or off season diet, nothing to get all worked up about..lol
