So e.g. if I eat a crapload of junk food on a cheat day do I need to make up for it throughout the rest of the week? If I have a cheat day aren't I going to cancel out like 5-6 days of exercise and dieting just like that? Can somebody explain if there's any benefits apart the morale ones?
What I mean in my question is this, which works better or does it have no difference. Let's say I need 1800cal per day to healthily lose weight, is there a difference in: 1) If I eat 2000 cal one day and then 1600 the other. 2) If I eat 1800 cal every day and no more. Is strict stability crucial to weight loss?
