    OK to have soda with cheat meal?

    I have 3 questions:

    1) Is it ok to eat anything on a cheat meal? Like pizza, burgers, tacos, ice cream, etc.

    2) Should you limit how much you eat on a cheat meal or just eat until you're full?

    3) Is it ok to drink soda or iced tea with my cheat meal or should I just stick to water?

    I currently cheat 1 meal, 1 day a week (saturdays). And I am trying to cut some bodyfat.

    Cheat meal = consume anything you so desire, hence the term "cheat meal".

    Tear it up....pizza....burgers....who gives a ****? Its only one meal/day a week so do what you please.


    Although if i do not drink regular soda, i drink diet but thats up to you.

    My cheat days are all out orgasmic. I probably eat way too much on my cutting cheat days but nothing is off limits. I am not a "regular" soda fan so I dont consume that but pizza, ice cream, italian, cookies, anything is fair game for me usually. I think next time I cut I will try to limit the trash food and see if it makes any difference, but I didnt notice any hinderance to be honest as a result.

    What part of "cheat meal" do you not grasp?


    Do you think scarfing down a whole pizza is good for you? Burgers and fries?Hell no but its a cheal meal so cheat like a mother****er.


    I do not go near any kind of diet soda during the week and sometimes never drink it in my cheat meal....whatever i feel like, i eat whatever. But if you are simply asking is diet soda good for a cutting diet, why hell no.....water is all you need.

    YES, IN MY OPINION IT IS. ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ONLY A MEAL, AND NOT AN ENTIRE CHEAT DAY.

    2) Should you limit how much you eat on a cheat meal or just eat until you're full?

    EAT UNTIL YOU ARE FULL. IF YOU ARE HANDLING YOUR BIZ THE OTHER 6 DAYS OF THE WEEK IN AN IMPECCABLE NATURE, THEN YOU HAVE NADA TO WORRY ABOUT, AND THE CHEAT MEAL IS WORKING IN YOUR FAVOR IF ANYTHING.

    3) Is it ok to drink soda or iced tea with my cheat meal or should I just stick to water?

    MY PREFERENCE IS DIET SODA NO MATTER WHAT. I JUST CAN'T SEE WASTING KCALS ON PURE SUGAR WHEN I COULD HAVE GREAT TASTING CHEAT FOOD, EVEN IF IT'S FOOD W/SUGAR. I OFTEN TIMES HAVE $15 WORTH OF JACK N THE BOX, BUT HAVE A DIET SODA W/ALL THAT SH*T, JUST BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE DRINKING REGULAR SODA. AS WELL, I HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO THE TASTE OF DIET SODA.

    I currently cheat 1 meal, 1 day a week (saturdays). And I am trying to cut some bodyfat.
    KEEP DOING THIS AND RE-EVALUATE NOT ONLY THE CHEAT DAY, BUT YOUR ENTIRE DIET, IF PROGRESS/RESULTS SLOW DOWN. MOST LIKELY IT WON'T BE THE CHEAT DAY THAT IS HINDERING YOU, BUT THOSE OTHER 6 DAYS OF THE WEEK.
