refeed or cheat meal?

[convictmuscle]

Just curious as to everyone's opinion regarding refeed meals or cheat meals. When deiting to get to low double digit or single digit BF numbers do you still do a refeed or cheat meal?? If so, once a week, once every other week?

It obvious that it boils down to Cals in vs Cals out but do cheats have a place in assisting with getting leaner or is this just a mental thing??

What's a cheat meal? Or should I say, what would you consider a cheat meal?

My cheat meals consist of eating choc chip cookies or some sort of choc cakes, cupcakes, etc...but to answer the question, I'd say twice a week is good. If that's th case, then I have a cheat meal ED:Dand maintain single digit bf%

A cheat for me is usually a med pizza and a couple peanut butter and jam sandwiches if I can cram it in inside of 2hrs. I give myself a 2 hour window lol

I over did my Sunday cheat meal....indulged way too much....put on 4lbs and look like shit....i set myself back at least one week for sure.

Yea its a fine line between enjoying a cheat meal and going way overboard. I've done it plenty of times only to feel like a depressed pile of shit after.

One cheat meal will not set you back, you're not going to get fat from eating one meal out of however many a week you eat, if you do it daily or multiple times a week, then that may be a different story. You probably ate a shit ton of sodium, flour products and sugar and it is retaining water...it will settle within days, esp if you drink enough water to flush your system.
