Or do you cheat with moderation?

I ALWAYS keep the meals under control and still stay within my daily macros. If you abide by some self made rules, a cheat meal once a week will actually be a good thing... mentally and it's always something to look forward to. Sundays are always a good day for me.

Coconut Shrimp for an appy
Big Rib eye steak, medium rare with LOTS of horseradish
Potato with everything on it
Salad with fatty ranch dressing, but no croutons (I don't like their croutons)
And of course, dessert! Maybe something really chocolately....

No, wait - Cold Stone for dessert

Damn I'm getting hungry now

Then i didn't eat anything until dinner (which was only like 4 hours after breakfast, lol) at which point it was a couple of glasses of Cabernet savignon, stuffed ziti in vodka sauce, 2 loaves of warm bread with butter, fried calamari, baked clams, stuffed shells, then shrimp and scallops over linguini in some kind of creamy reddish/pink sauce, then i finished my friend's steak assiagi with garlic mased pototoes, then a chocolate mousse cake with cappucino and rock candy, a bunch of after dinner mints then 3 more brownies before going to bed in a wine/sugar induced coma.

I'll get in there, order my appy & salad & bread and be completely stuffed by the time my steak is put on the table...

I'll have a few bites of steak & potatoe and that'll be it....
