What is your "go to" cheat night food?

I absolutely love Outback cheese fries. It's probably one of the worst foods out there, and yet I could eat it everyday if I wasn't trying to get healthier. I no longer eat this, so I try to go with something much less in calories/fat, even on my cheat night. What is yours?

    Popcorn! There are a lot of microwave varieties that aren't terrible/single serve. I make mine on the stove. I make sure to measure the oil/kernels so I don't go too crazy with the oil. Some people prefer air pop but I don't mind just the oil popped in plus salt. That and a tall glass of water.

    Probably pizza. And the more cheese, the better.

    When I"m craving something sweet, I go for cake (with extra icing), and when I'm craving something crunchy, I go for dried cereal (like corn pops or honey nut cheerios) or trail mix. When I want something sweet and salty, I go for yogurt covered pretzles.
    Crunchy: dried cereal, trail mix

    I love chips and cheese dip at my local Mexican Restaurant, if I'm craving crunchy/salty. If it's something sweet I'm craving, I get a Reese's Sonic Blast. YUM!

    I don't cheat, I budget in the not-so-great foods I love. Nothing is off limits (it's also not every day). Haven't gone over my calories in 4 weeks, and even the one time I did I was still under for my weekly goal.

    Are you me?? No seriously, that's my go to food when I'm on my weekly. I could eat that stuff every day, it soooooo delicious!! But I only try to use this as my cheat once a month. As long as you don't go overboard and eat this every week; once a month or once in a while won't completely kill you :D

    Every once in a while, we have a small bowl of cereal (Cocoa Puffs or Honey Nut Cheerios). Almost a healthy alternative!

    Dessert. Some sort of cakey mess of something sweet.

    Last night it was donuts, and tonight brownies.

    I manage to fit everything else into my daily calorie requirements and macros, but when I really cheat, the food that sends me over is the sweet one.
