    The night before a long run...PIZZA - no toppings, not even cheese. The night that I decide I am not cooking...MEXICAN FOOD - sometimes chicken fajita taco, sometime a whole mexican plate. All depends! :wink:

    On my cheat days I eat whatever I feel like eating, I dont usually log any of it so I dont know where i am calorie wise, but i think it's good to take a day off and not stress about what's going into your body.. My husband and I went on a weekend vacation and I had krispy kreme donuts, mcdonalds, and ate out every day... I came back worried i had gained, but I lost 2lbs!

    It's not what I eat, it's what I drink.

    BOOZE. And lots of it. Amazingly enough, I'm always at least 4 lbs lighter in the morning, too

    That is because you are dehydrated...something to do with how the alcohol processes in your body. The weight will usually come back!

    ^^ This. Alcohol inhibits a hormone called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which helps your body hold onto water and stay hydrated. When you drink alcohol, you urinate more, and lose more water (this dehydration is also what causes headaches and other symptoms of a hangover, which is why alternating alcoholic drinks and glasses of water when you're out drinking is supposed to help prevent a hangover).

    Booze can definitely make you drop weight after a cheat day, but it's not "real" weight loss.

    (Though I still love a good dirty martini or two on a cheat day myself :wink: )

    I eat the same things I eat everyday, just larger portions. I.E. 2 bars of snickers, 2 bowls of ice cream, 2 pieces of cake, etc.

    My favorite cheat meal is the pizza sub from my favorite local place. It's soooo good and I have no way of knowing how many calories are in it because they're not a national chain and if you ask they just shrug. I take that as a bad sign, but am encouraged that it comes on a wheat roll :P

    I pretty much eat what I want within reason. I don't binge or anything but I don't get down for going over my calories. I figure once in a while is ok otherwise I will feel imprisoned by a diet and I will say screw it :happy:

    this doesn't count. negative net calories after chasing them down, skinning them, dismembering them, and fitting them into the food processor.
