I typically make one day or two a week as a cheat day. I'm a new Vegan and before was a Vegetarian. I eat perfectly healthy and honestly it's something that works for me. What are yours like?

My cheat days are usually on Saturday because we have "the guys" over for game night. We usually get pizza and I'll make some sort of dessert. They are not hugely over the top but I'm always up a couple of pounds the day after.0

A cheat day for me is when I don't eat my vegetables, because maybe I'd rather spend all my calories on a piece of cheesecake and 10 cups of coffee with cream. Only now I'm making low carb cheesecake that contains no sucrose, so I can have even more coffee and cream. Then I go back to eating my veggies and meat, my less favorite foods.0

I don't have cheat days. I make what I want fit in my weekly calories... so I'll eat less 6 days a week and eat a bit more on the 7th day.0

I eat all I want in moderation on my cheat day and I add a glass or two of wine.0

I don't need cheat days. I get plenty of high calorie days when I have PMS... Like 3000 calories for 3 days or something. The rest of the time I have no problem fitting what I want in my weekly calories.
When I have cheat days, it's during vacations, birthday, or Holidays, and I can easily eat 3500 calories or more.0 -

Different strokes. I have fun fitting into my size 0 dresses instead of eating whatever I want.0 -

I'm the other way around lol. I'd rather be a bit chubby (barely) than to stop eating my chocolate and cookies!0 -

I find I can be my ideal size and eat whatever I want by eating whatever I want within my calorie allowance0 -
I don't do cheat days. Cheat implies you're doing something wrong and it makes you long and crave for the next. Nope, not for me.
I make what I want fit into my goal. If it doesn't, I exercise to burn it off or I eat less another day or few days to accommodate it. I eat what I want, when I want, how I want. I don't do deprivation.0 -
So far.... today... after weigh in, with a cappuccino and subway egg white, cheese, veggies and a small bag of chips. I still get my fruits, veggies, milk in but I also get more carbs today than I normally would.0

Don't really get the concept as I'm not cheating anyone, including me, by eating more some days than others or enjoying good food.
To me the idea sounds like restriction most days and freedom only a few days - that wouldn't be a happy or sustainable long term routine for me.0 -
i try not to look at it as a cheat day
but i do have days where i eat a crap load more than usual even though im already doing the "i fit whatever i want into my calories" thing everyone is always going on about
so yea i have very high calorie indulgence days sometimes...but its ok im chubby & don't have a size 0 dress to fit into

I look at my calorie intake as a weekly thing. Some days are low cal days, so that when I want something indulgent, I can. I am always (95% of the time) within my weekly calorie goal.
It's a workable, realistic plan for me. I'd say I'm living well.0 -
I won't cheat until I reach my goal.0
-
I work treats in or I bank exercise calories to 'save up' for higher calorie occasions.
Sometimes I eat more than I'd planned or just think 'to hell with it' but as long as these days are occasional I don't see much of a problem with it. Doesn't seem to affect my weight - I'd imagine it all evens out over time.0
