Cheat Days?

The more serious a bobybuilder is the less he will cheat. My personal belief is I can eat whatever I want, and as much as I want, once a week. BUT, I don't eat that much shit to begin with. So maybe some ice cream or a Coke.

Most will have a cheat meal not a cheat day but that depends on the person and what they're goals are at the time.

I'd slit my mothers throat for a slice of pizza right now...

I almost never cheat but I was at a restaurant the other day and they serve this gourmet pizza and I ordered one. I swear to God after the first bite I had a fucking boner.
I used to be SUPER strict when it came to my diet. All I ever wanted to do was be really lean. However, after extended periods of time with such a strict diet and never really getting to be as lean as I ever wanted, I just said to hell with it. I still eat very clean, and I won't eat shitty food (lunch cakes, doughnuts, etc). I do eat pretty much whatever I want though. If I feel like a bowl of Raisin Bran, I have it. If I want that extra peice of chicken, I have it. If I'd like to have a hamburger, I have it but on wheat toast.
I keep track of all my calories, and I do cardio 7 days a week so I don't think its that big of a deal. I'm not competeing or anything though either. It really just comes down to your goals and what you wanna do.

I am super strict when it comes to cutting (one cheat meal every month or so) but since i just started my first cycle last week (yay!) and have started bulking i have become a little bit lax and am allowing myself one cheat meal each week.

When im cutting I will have a cheat day 1 time max per week. Like other guys have said, I dont eat much bullshit anyway so its not that difficult for me to not just all out gorge on garbage. I try to limit it to a cheat "meal" but my wife somehow always ends up getting me to eat trash throughout the day hehe.
I honestly HAVE to have a cheat day/meal... dieting SUCKS. I would go crazy if I wasnt able to taste some good, nasty food every now and again. Theres only so much oatmeal and tunafish and egg whites I can stand

One cheat day per week is totally acceptable, unless you have really strict goals or are competing.... a cheat day helps you keep your sanity when you're otherwise eating clean daily... plus, if I'm not mistaken, even strict diets like Body Opus allow for 1 or 2 days per week of "carb-up" days.... I don't think it necessarily advocates pizza and ice cream, but you get the idea.... I used to think that if I didn't eat 100% clean all the time, I would become a fat tub and never gain muscle.... I discovered that by having that occasional cheat meal, I not only gained size, I didn't really gain that much fat.... if you're in-tune with your body, eventually you'll figure out what you can and can't eat

I am a hard gainer so i have to very drastically increase my cals in order to add size. I tried eating clean for years, but I have discovered through trial and error`that i need to do a little cheating every couple of days in order to accomplish this. I know everyone's metabolism is different, but this is what works for me.

Everybody needs to cheat a little every once in a while to mantain sanity. I don't take a cheat day or even cheat meals, I take a few cheat snacks throughout the wk. For me a cheat snack is a handful of chips or half a slice of pizza. If I do this 2-3x/wk then it keeps all cravings at bay and my mind off of food that I shouldn't be eating.
