How often do YOU “cheat”?

I have a cheat meal once a week. However, I track it and I usually can manage to stay within my calorie goal or only over it by a little bit.

[quote="amusedmonkey;c-44270001"Yep, that's what I mean by "make accommodations" for larger meals. If I'm not willing to "not eat x", skip a meal, or exercise more, then I don't want that larger meal enough to eat it and I'm content not having it. If I want it enough, I'll do one or a combination of the above and I'm happy to have it. All out no logging days are very very rare for me. My budget is monthly, so food that exceeds my budget for the day happens more often, which is balanced out by days where I'm under budget, but none of it is on a schedule to answer the "how often" question accurately. Huge meals could happen as often as several times a week or as infrequently as once every few months, depending on what I feel like eating or what's happening around me in that timespan.[/quote]


Agreed - although I see that someone disagrees with me, although it's always hard to know which part of the post has triggered the disagreement (formerly woo

Given that I always try to eat within budget (boosted by exercise), I guess I don't really 'cheat'. It's probably not even cheating if you eat over the budget one day but compensate on the following day by exercising more / eating less. As I've mentioned, a genuine cheat is probably knowingly exceeding budget and not logging ...

I eat whatever I want and crave as long as it fits into my daily cals. 😋 All in moderation. 😁
