Is a cheat meal not right for me? help?!
Question: Is a cheat meal not right for me? help?
So i'm 100 pounds and 5'2 i'm an athlete. and i do try to get to the gym 4-6 days a week... i stick to a very healthy diet i dont drink ANY pop never fast food and rarely even processed food. The only thing i might eat thats processed is luna bars. I eat whole grains low fat yogurts and cottage cheese fish grilled chicken veggies and tons of fruits natural peanut butter etc.. I try to incooperate a cheat meal into my diet ... but it seems like it always turns into eating more then what i plan or even a binge.(I know not good) is a cheat meal not the way to go? Instead my sister said to have a "relax weekend" where i still eat my healthy foods but dont restrict so much and have that peice of cake if i want. Or she said just when you have a craving during any time of the week EAT it then leave it and it might prevent a future binge. How should i go about this? thanks

Answers:
A cheat meal is important to incorporate into your diet as well as having the weekend off from lifting but still acquiring minimal cardio. Also try six meals a day, it is the healthiest way to stay in shape and best way to build muscle. Keep the foods you have listed the same for this plan and check out this site, it depicts how many calories you should intake for your weight, height and length of time you workout (including the six meals a day diet).
