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
since i'm not trying to loose weight.. actually gain lean muscle.. she said i could relax more and not be so strict about everything is this true? help!

Answers:

I am not a professional trainer or nutritionist this is all opinionated based from me. I am also a thin woman I recently lost weight(due to the stress of life) I used to weight 100 pounds also and had my diet (I was in sports back in high school) but, i would still cheat and eat anything i wanted i didn't overly stress about it if i wanted a soda with some pizza i had a few slices but, then the next day i would stick to my fruits and veggies. your sister is right its not a big deal if you crave a snake or a non-fruit or vegetable lunch or dinner. I mean you sound like a health woman don't torture yourself about it especially if your not trying to lose weight only gain lean muscle. Stick to what your doing now just cut yourself some slack :) you only live once have a donut!
Hope this helps....
