Do cheat meals derail your diet?
Tell us your rules—once a week, post-workout, or never?
Share your fave indulgence!

I used to do cheat meals every Saturday. Now I do carb refeed instead with high glycemic carbs.
Cleaner energy, no bloating.

[EthanBrown]

Cheat meals helped me stay mentally strong while cutting.
I do pizza + protein shake every Sunday post-deadlift.

I don’t do cheat meals, but I add soul food every now and then.
Homemade mac & cheese is therapy.

[JakeAnderson]

@FlexQueen I feel that. Comfort food doesn’t have to be junk.
My cheat is buffalo wings with sweet potato fries.

I just ate 12 donuts yesterday. Call it a refeed or a crime
Back on track today though!

I keep it clean 90% of the time. My indulgence = dark chocolate + almond butter toast

I skip cheat meals. But I add in 300–400 extra clean calories once a week as a “reset meal.”
Usually oats, banana, peanut butter.

[SophiaMiller]

@robertjohn smart approach.
I do frozen yogurt with toppings after my long runs. Just feels deserved.

I earned every cheat meal during my 12-week shred last year.
Now I’m in bulk and eat like a horse
