    what makes it a cheat meal? define it. I wouldn't consider carbonara "cheating" in the least...i don't see anything inherently unhealthy about carbonara.

    I try not to look at food as "good" or "bad"...I try to look at my diet in its overall context. I eat really healthfully...so I don't look at my pizza night with my boys every couple of weeks as "cheating"...it's just pizza night and in the context of my otherwise awesome nutritional profile, having a couple slices of pizza every couple weeks is fairly irrelevant to the whole of my diet.

    plain chicken shish kebab, feels like a cheat but is still quite healthy (minus the pita bread :P )

    While I agree foods shouldn't be "good" or "bad" it's widely accepted and known that a cheat meal is something that usually wouldn't be eaten and is considered a "treat"

    Although I'm the same as @cwolfman13 I just fit everything into my calories if I really want them!

    Whatever I'm craving at the time. But typically it fits in my weekly calories just fine... so it's no cheat. Cheats are Holidays and special events for me... when I end up eating way too much to possibly make up for the rest of the week.

    Baby back ribs are the only thing that really makes me feel like I'm "cheating". There is no way they'll fit into my calories, so I don't eat them often.

    • Huge, grilled Porterhouse and a couple of Guinness Extra Stout
    or
    • 2 racks of baby back ribs and a side of coleslaw

    All the pizza

    (I don't do cheat meals and eat pizza regularly, but sometimes you just gotta eat the whole thing-with beer)

    A huge bowl of parmesan cheese pasta! It is usually over my daily goal all by its lonesome. Cheesy, buttery deliciousness!

    I'm one week into MFP and I'm going to have a hard time especially with limiting the cheat meals. For me it's going to be Nachos, and Starbucks frappucino. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw how many cals were in my weekly frapp. Will step up the workout that day cause I refuse to give it up.

    In an ideal world, a huge bacon blue-cheeseburger with chips, onion rings and coleslaw. Banoffee pie for pudding. As much beer as I can manage after all that.
