    Well since I am seeking to build muscle and am very small, I do my cheat days BIG. My biggest one ever was I ate all my healthy food up till dessert after dinner... then I had a dessert called Chocolate Perversion which was this huge brownie, covered in chocolate mousse, covered in chocolate ice cream, covered in whipped cream. It was about a foot tall! Then I went to the movies and had a box of Resses pieces (3 servings) a box of gummy worms (3 servings) and a box of Milk Duds (3.5 servings)... then I got home and had some gluten free cookies.. then passed out! Lol. And I didnt even gain a pound!!!!

    Easter I ate candy all day and then had a pint of ice cream with more candy at night.

    And tomorrow I plan on having a whole box of mac n cheese for dinner, endless chocolate and candy during a movie with a friend, and then a pint of cookie dough ice cream with some more candy and whipped cream before bed.

    :)

    When I do it weekly, I do it big. And the metabolic benefits are huge... I know the science... I'm a personal trainer. And cheat days are a heaven sent gift from above for those of us who eat perfectly and train hard 6 days per week.

    I've been thinking about a cheat day once I get under 200lbs but I'm doing pretty well with eating right and exercising since I committed to it a little over a month ago... 11lbs lost so far. I havent had a cheat day yet. I try to balance out what I eat through the day so I'm not really depriving myself of too much. However, there are some things I would LOVE to indulge in. In your opinion, can you go too big on your cheat day? :) and is it actually helpful to the metabolism to have a cheat day every now and then and if so how often?

    I'm saving my cheat day for an olive garden lunch lol. I think I had McDonald's once in my 25 days and I had a half a mcdouble and half a grilled ranch wrap and then their new chicken bites, half a snack sized one and then I felt sick, like I was going to throw up :(

    I did it in pretty good on Easter. Breakfast was at a buffet... I had a biscuit covered in gravy, an individual quiche, some bacon and some sausage, a dinner roll, icecream sundae with hot fudge and hot caramel, and a chocolate dipped strawberry. Lunch was a hot brownie sundae at Chili's, and then I had dinner at my grandma's house, ham, bread, corn and beans, etc.... AND THAT IS WHY I'M ON MFP!!!!! Also, I'd like to say that having a ridiculous day like that made me feel AWFUL the next day and I was so so ready to get back to my low calorie eating. Oh yeah, and I wound up getting a stomach virus Monday-Tuesday and couldn't eat almost anything on Monday.

    What was your best cheat meal you have ever done?

    The best cheat meal i have ever done was 2 months ago (probably the worst one to this day) was I once ate a whole Large Hawaiian Style Pizza, 2 Bluemoon Beers, and 3 large chocolate chip cookies. It felt great at the time, but not so much a few hours later.

    Sounds amazing! :-)

    If I do cheat days/meals, it's usually something like McDonald's. I know McDonald's is extremely disgusting to a lot of people, but for some reason I think it's soooo good.


    That's because McDonalds food is composed mostly of crack. We all know crack is addicting!

    Beef Fajitas with Tortillas, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Refried Beans and Spanish Rice. I felt like I was ready to go into a carb coma afterward, but it was sooooooo good.

    Oh man that sounds sooo good. On my last cheat day I had two beef puffy tacos, chili con carne enchiladas, borracho beans, spanish rice and about 30 chips with salsa. SOOO worth it lol.

    I don't do cheat days. Every so often I reward myself w/ food I don't normally eat. But it's random and not often.

    Last was 1/3 of a carton of ice cream, 4 miller lights and 5 pieces of pizza. was glorious.

    Nutella is also composed of crack.. go figure!!

    I personally can eat a whole jar of Jif Natural Peanut Butter in a day.. I guess that makes me a crackhead :drinker:

    I've never had a cheat day, nor do I ever plan on having one. I have become so in love with healthy good, and being fit I just don't crave those 'bad' foods anymore. Maybe it's just me. :(

    well this thread doesn't apply to you. i don't think being fit and being in love with "healthy food" means that you never again eat indulgent things.
