Most of my cheat days include an extra bowl or two of oats or a couple of extra handfuls of almonds. Maybe once every few months I'll eat a slice of pizza. I learned a long time ago that a huge shitty cheat day does nothing but make my body feel like crap for the next few days. I do incorporate refeed days once in a while, but they always include good clean foods.
example of what i ate this last thursday (ONE of my cheat days )
breakfast
5 eggs over easy, 1 large waffle, hashbrown, 2 beef sausages, large orange juice, milk, 2 pieces of french toast, lots of syrup
snack
10 large chocolate chip cookies
lunch
2 steak sandwiches, lots of fries
drinks in between lunch and dinner
2 liters of guava juice, around 5 or 6 redbulls
dinner
3/4 lb cheeseburger with fries, a couple of chocolate chip cookies
snack before bed
around a pint of ice cream and half a jar of nutella..
i know... shameful......................... i should've finished that whole jar of nutella
My favorite cheat meal is something Edge250 had me do.
8-9 oz filet mignon
baked potato with butter and sour cream
salad with choice of dressing
bread
pc. of cheesecake with raspberry topping.
usually was enough to satisfy my taste buds until the next week.
Oh man ha ha that made me laugh pretty good! Yeah Bus, you would probably clear out the house when you did your duty lol.If I ate that much crap I would get abdominal pain and such extreme bloating to the point where I would look 9-months pregnant for two days.

That's one hell of a cheat meal - still some good foods in there, but tasty enough to satisfy while not being greasy and full of sodium.
Gee, that is a pretty clean cheat meal. Even the cheescake prob has more fat in it than carbs? Or what is that ratio? Also try melting some cheddar cheese on your spud, over your butter, then put the sour cream over that, some chives, and then sprinkle some pepper to finish. Bacon bits optional, howver I cannot be sure but I think they might have msg in them. You could always get the natural bacon bits though.
I want to keep it fairly clean. I want it to be a 'shock to the system' but not too much where my GI tract goes crazy for days if you know what I mean. Usually after I eat this meal I feel great....full and happy, without paying for it days on end.
