We all cheat on our diets from time to time, so when you DO cheat...what do you eat?

I am a huge snacker. Namely, Cheetos. Even more specifically, Hot Cheetos! I'll at them with anything and everything.

What is your favorite cheat food?

    My first answer is nothing thats worth it, my second is cheese and dukes mayo sandwich, sometimes with horseradish if I'm feeling spry. Add a spicy v8 to that or some doritos on the sandwich and I'm in heaven. When I say cheat for this example it's because it doesn't fit my macros.

    Sometimes I eat stuff that doesn't fit, and that's not cheating either, it's just eating yummy things...

    Amen!

    If I cheat, it's on the quantity of something. So I'll have salt & vinegar chips. Weigh out a serving (or even just a 1/2 serving) and enjoy slowly. A cheat for me would be a *kitten* this and eat the family sized bag.

    Usually something ridiculously sweet.

    I don't "cheat," but if I am going to have an "eat whatever I want and don't worry about calories" kind of treat day, it's Indian food, with naan. Or maybe tapas or Mexican. Or maybe something else -- generally it's restaurant food of a type I can't do justice to at home, and savory rather than sweet.

    It's not what I eat, it's how much. I can usually fit tasty treats within my calorie goal, and at least be at or under maintenance. But sometimes, a girl just wants to eat and feel full! So "cheating" would be having a second helping at dinner, or having another cookie, or something to that effect. Or, it would be eating whatever I want and not paying attention to portion control or logging it. I haven't done that one in a little while though!

    It's not cheating if you're still logging it.

    So basically, for me, it's handfuls of food like mini marshmallows or pistachios or a cracker or two or bread that calls my name that I don't weigh and/or log and even then I give myself a couple hundred discretionary calories a day for things like that (subject to change depending on how much I ate/didn't weight/didn't log).
