People Also Ask
What is a cheat day?
A planned day where you eat more freely and enjoy higher-calorie foods that are usually off your diet.
Do cheat days ruin your progress?
An occasional cheat day is fine, but a full day of overeating can undo a week's deficit, so it works best for people whose weekly calories still balance out.
Is a cheat day the same as a refeed?
No. A cheat day is unstructured indulgence; a refeed is a deliberate, mostly high-carb day planned to top up glycogen without going wildly over calories.
