Just curious how many members have cheat days??

I don't have 'cheat days' but I occasionally have days where I eat over my goal, but I also have days where I'm under goal. I use the phone app to keep track of weekly totals and on Saturday and/or Sunday I like to eat over to take out some of my extra deficit. For example I ended last week 1034 calories under goal, after eating an extra 200 on Thursday and 200 on Sunday. This doesn't count exercise calories, which I don't eat back.

Short Story Shortened: I eat what I want, when I want, and make it fit.

I don't really have any restrictions on food...I just eat less. So I guess I don't really have the desire to cheat because I don't deprive myself of anything.

I don't have planned "cheat days", as in, "I have been "good" for a week, so now I can binge on crap". But I do have days when I go over my cals a little or a lot (200-600cals), usually when I have a really good meal (think steak & baked potato, good Tex-Mex or Italian food). I don't worry about it, because an occasional day of eating over my cals doesn't negate weeks of eating at my caloric goals and exercising.

I did when I started
Then I have them up
Nowadays everyday is a chest day
So I'm going to go back to having treat-days again
:-)

I don't specifically have them on purpose, and try to eat as healthy as I can daily, but sometimes, stuff happens. I don't stress about it if my cousins bring over pizza and beer, or if we go out to a concert and eat bar food. Why? It balances out all of my hard work. As long as there aren't more cheat days than healthy days, and that you keep trying to better yourself, it's fine.

PROGRESS. NOT PERFECTION.

I allow myself a cheat meal once per week when my parents take me out for dinner to a nice restaurant. It is a family bonding thing, and I don't want to be the calorie-counting downer at the table when they are enjoying themselves. However, I do allow myself to cheat in small ways now and then whenever I just have the urge. Like a small amount of granola with a few chocolate covered coffee beans or pizza or something like that. I actually have always loved fruit, veggies, seafood, salad, etc. even without forcing myself to eat it, so it's not always too much of a struggle for me.

I have my cheat once a week at 1pm every Thursday, where I have 3 chocolate digestive biscuits, but WITHIN my calorie goal for the day and usually some exercise to balance it out. I have one big cheat meal once a month and all that means is that I have a burger and sweet potato fries or a pizza. I usually counteract that with a calorie deficit the day before and the day after with lots of exercise, so again, it balances out. As I've lost all the weight I need to, I keep my diary at 0.5 pounds loss per week, so in case things come up, I can have it and not freak out on the scales. lol.

Occasionally. My last one was maybe 2 weeks ago. I try not to stray off my path since I'm cutting, but hey, I'm a fat guy on the inside. :P

I don't have "cheat days" because I pretty much eat whatever I want when I want it... however there are days every now and then that I will go over my macros by a little bit... but there is almost always a day or 2 in the week that I am a little under to make up for it. I try to look at the overall week... not just the day.

I just eat normal food every day and log everything no matter how 'bad' it may seem. I make sure I burn enough calories to account for the foods I like to eat and I eat back my exercise calories. This isn't a diet, it's the way I'll eat and work out the rest of my life so I don't want to 'deprive' myself of anything to the point that eating something I enjoy feels like cheating.
