Is it still a "cheat" meal if I'm within my calorie goal?

I have been craving arroz con maiz (spanish rice w/corn) all day....so I'm making it as I type this up.
Even though the dinner works within my calorie goal, is still considered a cheat meal because it is not healthy? Either way...I'm indulging

"Cheat" doesn't really have an established definition. I would say that if it fits your calorie AND macronutrient targets, you are not cheating.
But more importantly, what is it about spanish rice and corn that you determine is unhealthy?0 -

I would say yes as in yes, eat it. Of course it isn't good everyday but if it's within your means sometimes, why not.0

Well it does not sound bad to me. But really, I think it's up to you to decide if it will be a "cheat meal," one of those meals that just has more _____ than your usual foods (and shrug it off), or one that you will surely avoid.0

If it's in calories I wouldn't call it a cheat. Also, why do you consider a rice and corn dish unhealthy? Genuinely curious.0

Thank you all for the responses. I don't consider it "healthy" because I cook my rice with vegetable oil AND because well, its white rice. I know its not the worst choice I can make, but definitely not the best choice for me.0
