Anything you want...hence the term "cheat"
Enjoy it, don't make it a chore.

I actually disagree slightly with some of the above posters.
I think a cheat meal NEEDS to be "all out". If you are strictly dieting, then your body needs the kick that a high-carb and even high-fat meal.
As for worrying about salt - I could care less about salt intake, esp in a cheat. Salt-related water rentention will go away in a few days and if you drink enough water on a day to day basis, the retention is minimal.
Dieting is hard - strict dieting - emotionally and physically. Sometimes you emotionally need a day/meal that allows you to eat whatever you want.
If you are strictly dieting and you have an ALL OUT meal once a week, or once every 10 days, that can only help you in my opinion.
BTW, MY idea of a cheat meal would be pizza and ice cream, pasta and cheesecake, or burgers and fries. If you are going to do it, do it big.

Have to say, I agree with ya' on the GO BIG statement, but I can also see everyone else's point.Daisy_Girl said:I actually disagree slightly with some of the above posters.

In synopsis: Make sure it's a cheat MEAL, but not a cheat DAY.
I learned that the HARD way (and for that reason, "Easter" will always = BAD NEWS in the world of Ulter and I). I binged ALL DAY LONG that day... and oh my goodness, I had to pay for it the following week! When I had a cheat meal the other day at Cheesecake Factory, I did what everyone said here -- ordered what I wanted... but it was JUST that meal and I left 1/3 of the food (dinner and dessert) on my plate instead of making myself sick by stuffing it all down.
So -- now the fun question -- "Whatchaeatin'?"
Very true. I used to do ALL DAY cheats - it is too much. A good idea is to have one GIANT meal and then eat well the rest of the day.
