Abs and cheat days/meals

Okay so I eat clean a good 90-95% of the time. I have a flat stomach with a little definition which I am happy with and don't want to lose. However, I am currently working to gain some weight (around 10 or more pounds) and was considering the idea of a cheat day while I eat 100% clean the other 6 days of the week. Now, I wouldn't go all out on the 7th day. I would probably have a yummy lunch and snack or dinner and snack ect.. I like the idea of enjoying myself a little while I am gaining but not at the cost of my abs.

So my question to those of you with abs: Should I worry that this weekly cheat might ruin my flat stomach since I am going to be at a calories surplus while I am trying to gain muscle/weight? I do need to gain some fat but I want it to be mostly muscle and I don't wish for my stomach to change at all really....

Thanks for the help!

    Live a little, your body isn't going to change because of one meal you ate.
