    You can be "naughty" ever day if you want..just make sure that you fit it into your calorie deficit for the day..

    the other day I had about 100 calories left so I had half serving of ice cream and a few chocolate chip cookie chip thingies...

    Sometimes I know that I am going to have pizza or some beers or whatever, so I have less for breakfast and lunch and just fit it into my day....IMO this is better than the "cheat" meal mentality where you just gorge/blow out on foods for a day and then try to go back to normal patterns....

    that is my two cents....

    A whole half-serving of ice cream? You're a wild man!

    yup that's me ..one wild and crazy guy ..!

    That was just one example....sometimes I will et like 20 buffalo wings and house them down with some beers..if I do that I usually have pretty small breakfast ...just saying you can eat what you want and still be in a deficit...you don't have to have a 1000 calorie over maintenance blow out and then feel like crap ...

    I am prone to go ahead and eat whatever, whenever, with that little voice in my head reminding me to do it in moderation. I love all kinds of food and my normal day-to-day diet does not include red meat, although at a cookout a couple of weeks ago I had a pretty good helping of brisket, along with the other comfort foods on the big table.
    And I never try to miss the random potluck going on in this tiny village!
    Having said that, I have to admit I put in a bit more workout time after.
