    I do a cheat meal a week. If I cut more calories from my daily allowance, I won’t be eating enough to sustain me and that leads to giving up and overeating. I don’t have a whole cheat day, just one treat (and as much of it as I want in one sitting — typically after eating healthy all week, that’s not a huge amount anyway). It’s a balance. One indulgence a week won’t break me when I’m consistently working out and eating well, and having that treat to look forward to helps me stay on track. If I’m having a craving, I just tell myself that can be my treat on my “cheat day.”

    I don't "cheat". If I have a very active day I calculate half the calorie burn as excess food allowance. On a very lazy day I try to eat less. When I eat excesdi food, I calculate how many calories I need to burn and go for a walk.
