Hi! New here. Lost 50 lbs counting calories. Factor in a cheat meal once a week. Today was that day, folks. 2 cups of French fries from the Chinese take out. Plus a quart of hot and sour soup. Yum. Worth it! How bout u?

    Yesterday instead of lunch I ate two donuts. They were delicious. But I think my body was happier today with my chicken and veggie lunch :)

    Not into the 'cheat' thing as all food is to be enjoyed. That being said, earlier this week I had flap jacks & sausage rolls for breakfast.

    The argument about what people call meals out of their norm seems silly to me. My two donuts fit right into my calories for the day. It wasn't what I planned to eat. It probably wasn't the most nutritionally dense meal I could have but I wanted it and ate it and if I want to say cheat meal what does it really matter? This doesn't seem to be a thread full of "omg I ate chocolate and now my diet is in utter shambles". It feels more like a fun conversation about food you ate. Cheat meal/ tasty dessert who cares what it's called? Does it somehow make my breakfast choice more wholesome if I refuse to label it?

    I also don't cheat, as what am I cheating on? But tonight I had fajitas at a Mexican restaurant. AND lots of chips and salsa.

    Still not cheating!

    I've been 'cheating' all week pretty much. Lots of soup, ice cream, Froot Loops, Oreos, some pizza. But I've been sick too so chicken with broccoli or salads haven't sounded remotely appetizing.

    Saturday meal out at a really nice Uk restaurant called Bills.

    Had some garlic,herb and cheese bread as a shared starter.
    Main was a lamb burger with fries and long stem broccoli.
    Dessert was a mix of apple/plum crumble with salted caramel ice cream and banana and honeycomb cheesecake.

    I don't know what your definition of a cheat is, but by the sounds of it, everyday is a cheat meal for me. ;)

    I had cheeseburgers and a coca cola today.

    The way I "cheat" is to eat back ALL of my exercise calories for that day. I figure I'll be able to do that a few times a week at maintenance and not have an issue.

    I'm going for a lifestyle I can still do at maintenance, but at maintenance I won't need to be constantly cutting.
