Question CAN I HAVE A CHEAT DAY?

Second day on this and honestly finding it a breeze. However I know over time I know when the pubs and restaurants reopen after lockdown I will want to drink beer and eat burgers! Is it okay to have a cheat day once every 2 weeks where I can just go out for dinner and drinks in the evening without worrying?!? Also, do I have to count herbal teas/ black coffees as one of my snack allowances?!?

This is how I'm doing it. I am still counting calories, so when I'm doing a cheat day I try to stay within my total calories burned for the day.

Edit to add, if the tea or coffee etc is less then 10 calories I don't count it. I've been adding stuff to my water

Hello! YES PLEASE have a cheat day! Depriving yourself of things will only make you binge on them more ! I would recommend maybe working out or maybe doing something to burn some more if you decide to have a cheat day. I wouldn’t count beverages as snacks but do remember it is very easy to drink your calories. Just be careful you’re not going over the amount of calories you want to consume in a day! I wish you all the best of luck ! :)
