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.
