Do you plan your cheat day? Do you have a cheat day or just a cheat meal

I usually make up for anything that would be considered a "cheat meal" by eating less or working out more the rest of the day/week. So I guess it wouldn't really be a cheat meal. It's shockingly easy to undo a week's worth of effort in one day.0

Since I don't run an aggressive calorie deficit, I don't feel the need for a cheat meal or day. When my appetite spikes premenstrually, I do eat at maintenance for a few days, and save higher calories foods like pizza for then.0

Every Sunday, I have a maintenance day. I do plan it and log it. I tend to run a slightly more aggressive deficit than most people would at my weight to bank extra calories for it so that it can be extra epic.0

No cheat day, but sometimes I just eat a lot for a special event or something. I do my best to log it and don't feel guilty.
My God @zyxst I'm not sure I could do that in a day Looks like an awesome day.0 -
When I did do them, I found it most successful to plan them on Monday. I tend to be more organized and strict during the work week. Found when I did a cheat day/meal on Friday it turned into a cheat weekend and then everything fell apart.0

no cheat days per se. we socialize on weekends over dinner with friends so if its a Friday or Saturday and I know we are going out I will make good food choices all day and get a workout in before hand. sometimes I'll end up with 800 calories or more available to me.1
