Just because you do a cheat meal it doesn't mean you have to go over. Let's say I have been graving a hamburger. I can go to in n out and buy myself a hamburger with some fries. That can be my cheat meal and still stay in my limits. You have to be conscious of what you are consuming. If you want ice cream go for it but don't go buying two banana splits for yourself. The whole purpose is to have the foods you like but in moderation. I hope this helps.

Let's lose the word cheat and replace with the word TREAT - take the guilt out of the activity!

You looking for a confession there, Pastor Wilson ???

I save up my exercise calories Mon-Thurs and eat them FRI-SAT-SUN. I try not to go over "Gross" but for the weekend by day I end up going over SAT and SUN..

I don't do cheat meals, because my definition of a true cheat meal is going NUTS, like a real binge...3,000 plus calories of fried food and alcohol and craziness.

I do have days that are more lax. Thursday nights I spend at least 2 hours deep cleaning in addition to my nightly walk, so dinner includes stuff I might not eat on other days (grilled cheese, piece of pie) and on Friday or Saturday night my fiancé and I usually have a bit larger or more indulgent meals than the rest of the week. But it still fits into my macros and rarely goes over the cal count...so to me it's not a real "CHEAT".

JMHO!

I don't count the calories of my cheat meal, that's the whole point! I'd rather not know. It's never anything outrageous, usually just some chicken strips and fries or steak with mash potatoes and gravy.

I've done two, first time I didn't go over my daily goal, second time I went over by 80 or something.

My best advice is to have it for lunch (or breakfast), that way you're probably not going to be that hungry at dinner anyway and will probably only go over 200 instead of 500 or something. I saved calories for a 'cheat' dinner once and it sucked all day.

I eat what I want, when I want... as long as I'm hitting my macros and staying within my calories.

Why cheat when you can fit awesome stuff in on a regular basis?
