Cheat meals

Hey everyone,
I'm 19, 5ft11in and I weigh 135lbs. According to MFP, my TDEE for maintenance goes up to 2060 calories (I set my activity levels to very low, since my workout routine has been a little irregular lately). Can I have 1 or 2 cheat meals a week eating at maintenance or should I stay in a caloric deficit in order to keep my weight stall?

look at your weekly goal... if you have 1 or 2 cheat days where you go over your maintenance cals then you will need a day or 2 under to balance it out.0

Don't understand!
"1 or 2 cheat meals a week eating at maintenance "
Your whole week is eating at maintenance (either same daily goal or averaged over the week).
"should I stay in a caloric deficit in order to keep my weight stall"
If you are staying in a deficit you won't maintain your weight.
If you really mean can you eat at a deficit some days and a surplus some days - then yes you can.0
