I think you should cheat ONE day per week.

Ok, the question still stands.
With what meal, swole?
Personally I like to cheat with breakfast...for instance pancakes.
It doesn't really matter.... cheating is mainly just to reward yourself for a hard week of strict dieting. Just make sure that your cheat meal isn't too large, so that it doesnt affect your later meals.
Why not every meal? My results are far better when I have a full day of cheating. You dont want to run your metabolism into the ground being super strict 24/7, it's counter-productive.Quote:

Pizza is my favorite. I still drink a shake with it.
My taste buds have adapted to like clean food. I can't eat chinese food, burger king, etc; it's nasty to me. Pizza though, I love.
depending on your goals i would go with breakfast because it is gonna be used throughout the day if you are active during that day.
Whatever time of day you wish.
If you are handling business the other 6 days of the week, it doesn't make a sh*t bit of difference either way.
Believe me.

Alot of people make the mistake and do not cheat, i do and its like you said, a reward for all the hard work put in throughout the week.
I have a question about a cheat meal which I am gonna introduce (as muriloninja said it has been a mistake not having one for such a long time ;) ):
I plan to have one cheat meal of virtually anything I want but just to keep a sane amount of calories in the meal, around the same as a normal meal or slightly higher (around 500 or so). Instead of having a chocolate bar is it ok to have one of those bulking protein bars? They are also yummy but I am sure at least a bit better than a straight candy bar :)

Eat whatever you want when you cheat, Xenithon.
I would get pizza, and buy turkey pepperoni to put on it. It tastes the same. I hate chinese now just because I have no idea how bad it is. I think an average chinese food lunch has about 1400 calories in it now. Most of the sauces are all refined fat.
when i have a cheat meal i just stop counting calories and all that...i usually eat clean for the day (without counting too much) and then just go out to have a nice dinner....i found that having an all out day would help me to consume close to 6 - 7000 calories a day and after a while became counter productive....it is OK to do that for maintenance purposes, but i am now dieting for show, so i dont cheat at all :(
