Today is my cheat day but I don't know what to do for it? What is you calorie intake for a cheat day and how often do you have it?

    I usually try to stay around 2000 or slightly above like 2200. It happens that I go way above, like if I choose to go out with my friends but those indulgences usually ends up backfiring because I gain like that whole weeks loss right back lol

    I try to stay as close to my caloric goal as possible, but don't berate myself if I go too over it because I know the cheat meal is full of calories anyways.

    I do try to make it up for it over the week by having a bigger caloric deficit, so that it's still at a loss by the end of the day.

    What's the point of it then if there's nothing you fancy eating?!

    Eat whatever you feel indulged by, something that makes your mouth water :D
    I would suggest to keep calories within your maintenance level on a cheat day. Any weight after cheat day is water weight, so no worries.

    Cheat day is not really a cheat when you plan for it..

    Usually its maintenance and its what ever you like to enjoy eating..

    Depends on your plan, I am for a certain average calorie goal over the week, if I eat a lot one day then it's OK if my average is still under the goal.
