    I hate to sound like one of those people who pick apart terminology used by the OP but I don’t consider anything I eat to be a cheat meal. I eat “unhealthy” or high calorie foods anytime I want I just make it fit into my calorie goal :)

    I "cheat" almost everyday but I'm losing weight.
    If I want something I'll fit it in my calories :3

    I had a Honey Bun from the vending machine at work a few days ago. It was disgusting and delicious and it put me about 500 calories over maintenance, so that makes it a cheat for me. I regret nothing.

    I had boneless wings and fries on Tuesday with ranch of course! They were delicious.

    I don't "cheat". I fit in what I want.

    I also don't classify foods as Bad or Good. It's food.

    Been doing this for almost 2 years. Never had a cheat meal. The other day I had pizza. I logged it. I was within my cals. Yesterday I had finger-in-the jar chocolate spread. Logged it. Was on target. Some days I go over. That's normal. When people don't log they eat some days over and some days under. Normal life.

    This was also my first ever attempt to lose weight. Never had to start over. I've lost all but 6lbs.

    I don't really consider anything a cheat if I fit it in my calories, but I am getting Chinese takeout for lunch at work today and I feel a little cheeky about it. :p

    Wasn't really a cheat, I just included it into my day... but Hardee's 5$ all star box. 1360 calories for lunch. Glad I skipped breakfast that day!

    Who cheats on French fries from a Chinese restaurant? OP, you're doing it wrong :D

    This is exactly what I was going to say. What kind of a Chinese restaurant even offers french fries?

    I'm also in the camp of "I don't cheat I eat all the foods I want and work them into my calories as part of an overall balanced diet" ....

    I try not to cheat, but both times I've been around pizza and fried chicken I over-consume. Wine in social groups is my other biggie. I make up for it the next day or prepare by eating less ahead now.

    Don't consider anything a cheat. I do make sure to work in calorie-dense foods that I enjoy on a regular enough basis that I don't crave anything. Yesterday I had a donut AND fast food. On Saturday I had a whole pint of ice cream (halo top ftw) and two shots of whiskey. Still losing weight at my expected rate because I have maintained my calorie deficit.

    I tend to build “cheats” into my calories. Like today’s mars bar brownie and kitkat chunky. I swam and lifted hard for those.

    I worked a McDonalds cheeseburger into my calories yesterday instead of dinner so the family could eat out at my daughter's choice

    Wow, that looks to be the same size as one they do locally as part of a challenge where, if you can finish it, the meal is free.

    It was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. The menu said it was two 1/4lb beef patties. My gut says it was probably twice that. It was delicious. Probably close to 8 inches tall altogether. 12/10 Would eat again if I’m ever in Bemidji, MN again.

    Sadly-it wasn’t free.
