should i have a cheat day? and eat junk food or no?

Intake less calories than you burn. Consistency is key, so keep at it. I find I do better without a cheat day. I tend to eat what I enjoy, "junk" included, but keeping my portions in control so I don't go over calorie allotment. Best of luck!

What you "should" do is based on what you personally need to keep you sane and on track.

I regularly go over my calorie goal and consciously have a cheat day most weeks where I will have dessert and wine. Or a night out with rather more than a glass of wine!

I need those things because if I didn't allow myself them I would feel deprived and miserable and would give up altogether. As it is, because I allow myself those days, I have kept this up for longer than I expected (admittedly only 6.5 weeks so far, but that's still an achievement).

On a weekly basis, I've been under my calorie goal 5 times and over it once - the week where I've been over my goal (this week, as a matter of fact) I am over by a grand total of 75 calories in a week. And so far I've lost 12 lbs since 12th August. So I don't think having cheat days is doing me any harm.

Sorry dude, but you are complaining about not knowing and plenty of people have pointed you in the right direction and suggested you read up about how to lose weight. Yoy need to know and understand how other people lose weight or how to lose weight in general and then find a way that suits you. The most effective way will be to do what most other people will be doing by logging all your food and creaing a calorie deficit so you lose about 2lb a week, which is a safe amount. Have a smaller deficit if you struggle on the low calories allowed.

You also wanted a six pack and people pointed you in the right direction. Please read up and then you will know more and realise what it is you have to do.

Only you can decide if you want the mythical cheat day, but in most cases it takes you away from your target of consuming less calories than you burn. Why do you want one? Maybe its a sign that your six eggs a day diet is not sustainable as everyone pointed out. You will get more benefit from working out a balanced healthy diet or at least eating a more sustainable level of calories.

The easiest way is a way that fits into your lifestyle--or that's what I've gleaned from reading many, many boards around here, other websites and well, it makes the most logical sense. If you can have a cheat day and not go nuts, that's great! If you have little to no self control and you know you will fall into a deep dark pit, probably not the best idea. I cheat on Saturdays but really I'm not cheating? I make pizza with healthy stuff (flat wraps with turkey pepperoni and mozzarella etc) or I make burgers (with sandwich thins and lean ground turkey, and carrot fries). It depends on your definition of cheat/junk food.

I agree with forigvensins, in that it really depends on your lifestyle. Lifestyle is, in my opinion, the core of the entire weight loss game. If you seek to live a more healthy lifestyle permanently, ditch the idea of cheating days;it will make it easier to maintain your weight loss later on.

So how many calories should I eat a day I got told 1900-2100

And so far its 11 and I already had 1100 I'm just Idk I try hard Lol these last two days I've been kinda eating bad foods.

But tonight I'll prolly run and walk on tread mill at the gym for 30-40 mins to lose 1000 calories.

Its just really hard to lose weight for me

Get someone to help you set up your MFP as you want. You really only need to decide how much you wnat to lose per day as a target. The more you want to lose the fewer calories you will have to eat so pick a level that is sustainable. If its set at 1900, then spread your calories through the day for 3 main or 5 light meals. I do 3 main meals, so something like 400 for breakfast, 500 for lunch and 600 for dinner. One of the tricks is to eat food you like in smaller portions, but also try and go for food that will keep you from feeling hungry, stays within your calorie limits and gives you good nutrition.

You wont lose 1000 calories in 30-40mins walking and running on the tread mill.

Is it hard to lose weight for you? Maybe it has more to do with your mindset and determination rather than any physical limitation. Read up and knowing how things work will give you more confidence in knowing what to do.

Ditto what others said before me. Also I wouldn't go with a cheat "day" as you could really blow your calories out of the water. Certainly splurge for a meal, special occasion or when watching a game with your friends, etc. try to stick with your calorie allowance or go a bit over but if you really eat many calories it could set you back, especially where you have a goal for a certain time period. Good luck in what you decide.

from what you've described in previous post, you don't really eat anything healthy. you should try and eat more healthy food before you "earn" a cheat day.

He says he eats 6-8 eggs a day. there was a long thread on it.

Go hit the gym and spend an hour doing some cardio, that should net you an extra 5 to 600 calories. Then go splurge a little. You still will get more calories, and you will feel better because you earned them.

^this Monday is a cheat day for me nan cooks me lunch and I always have a slice of homemade cake for afters then in the evening I spend 2 hours in the gym working it off!! I am maintaining but am still mindful of what I eat I don't deprive myself of anything but a whole pizza or cheesy chips just don't happen anymore..

I do occasional cheat meals, not complete cheat days.

It makes more sense to spread 3 cheat meals out over a week than to do it all at once - you can rebound quickly from one bad meal, rather than digging yourself out of a hole for several days after a full day of excesses.

I stopped giving myself cheat days or rewarding goals with food. Why should I reward myself for doing what I should've been doing all along...by eating mass amounts of stuff I really shouldn't be eating? Instead I do non-food rewards like going to a movie or downloading an album off iTunes.

If I eat a burger, I eat a burger. I log it and move on.
