cheat meals
Planned dietary splurges
Cheat meals are planned departures from a strict diet, typically indulgent foods otherwise forbidden by one's eating regimen.
The term comes from fitness and weight-loss culture, where disciplined eating is framed as a commitment one might "cheat" on: Saturday is my cheat meal day.
Some use cheat meals as psychological relief; others believe they boost metabolism.
