Is it true you are supposed to give yourself one cheat day a week? (Within reason of course)

    All personal preference, I do IIFYM and I do not do cheat days... I hit my numbers everyday for 7 months while cutting...

    If you want to you can. I go months without a cheat day or meal, only because I saw it as, hey iv been cheating for years eating that's why I'm in this mess. So I was determined to eat right year round. But with that if you want one once a week then there is nothing wrong with that as well.

    IMO it's best to avoid them if you can. We're all humans though.
