I know that they say that if you are eating too few calories that your body goes into starvation mode and your weight plateus and so you are supposed to have a cheat day..does anyone do this and if so, how many calories do you go over?

    well you should avoid starvation mode whether you are going to have a cvheat day or not. the cheat day theory is not based on eating too few calories and then pigging out.

    if you are at a safe caloric deficit (one to two pounds loss per week) the cheat day would be resuming maintenance level or slightly higher for that day. I wouldnt do a cheat day until I hit a plateau.
