    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?

    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

    LOL...Yeah, I probably won't cut it out forever, but it is such a weakness for me. I just can't even go to Outback anymore for a very long time :)

    It used to be peanut m&m's (which I could eat by the bucket load), and lindt chocolate. But I haven't touched them since starting on MFP, and my cheat night food now is a bowl of that weird muesli/breakfast cereal hybrid 'just right' with 99% fat free milk. On the scale of things its pretty healthy but I do want to get out of the habit of eating after 7.30PM.

    Yup - my downfall is both salts & sweets. So things like french fries, chips, and cookies, ice cream. And Fast Foods. But if I had to choose, I've probably picked out the most on ice cream. When I'm being bad, I can finish an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream which about 1,000 calories. Not kidding.

    I never understood why it is called cheating, if you cheat on a test you boost your grade, if you cheat on your taxes you get money, if you cheat on your health you get...?

    Anything Italian..... So many carbs and it's so deliciously unhealthy. I love it :-), but only if I am allowing myself all those carbs lol

    Nachos with loads of cheese and beef...I don't have a cheat night, but if I did nachos would be on the top of the list.

    How do you eat all the glass and plastic? I would prefer one of their hamburgers.

    something breaded- usually some kind of breaded chicken sub or something. I can usually work it into my day if I'm careful and planning for it, but sometimes I just need something that resembles fried. Other than that, something with a wee bit of chocolate :P

    Mine is mexican!! I like to have a "free day" once each week when I don't worry so much about every little calorie. Tonight we had mexican, but it was grilled fish tacos with only one corn shell and I had about 10 chips with salsa and yogurt instead of sour cream. We had lots of veggies - tomatoes, bell peppers & zuchinni. I also really like ice cream, but I have to watch it and not eat too much - very easy to do. :tongue:

    Generally speaking it depends on whether I'm craving sweets or salts. If it's salts, then I'll get nachos made with doritos rather than regular tortilla chips. If it's sweets, then some sort of frosted cinnamon roll from somewhere.

    You've clearly never met my stomach. His name is Borg. He enjoys McDonalds - glass, plastic and chicken nuggets, too.

    I am addicted to popcorn but have not had any since I started eating healthier.
    I would get the movie theater butter and the white cheese seasoning,

    I had a donut today instead of a peanut butter and jelly. I'll substitute, but a full on cheat meal can destroy everything you did through the week to cut a few calories here and there. I'll have aq cheat meal once a week when I get to maintenance.

    ah, a canadian!

    I don't really have "cheat" foods.. I just try to fit things in when I want them. I like to have a mcdonald's meal once in a while, though.. or frozen yogurt with all kinds of toppings.

    I have a borderline disturbing new found love for wings that the wife and I make.

    While we were on vacation, we picked up about seven different hot sauces that I had never heard of until we went to Pepper Palace in Myrtle Beach. Dear god it's all so delicious.

    Anything that would be really hard to try to log, like diner food/local restaurant food, or the awesome ethnic food that occasionally comes to me via my fabulous Indian boss, or my Salvadoran, Bosnian, or Russian coworkers. The rule (for me) is that there can't be easily-accessible nutrition information!
