Strict diet but cheat days are??????

I am really good about my diet as far as eating clean meals 5-6 times a day at least 6 days a week. When it comes to cheating on that 7th day i have a few questions. Does anyone else do this? do you feel guilty? are your cheat days really "cheat days"? On the 7th day i usually have 1-2 meals i wouldn't normally eat and still have 5 clean meals. those 2 meals are still considered considered healthy by some not me. if this makes sense cool and maybe someone can shed some light about what they do. thanks in advance.

Me personally i do not feel guilty on cheat days (cheat meal) i eat as i would normally throughout the day and then later on in the evening i will order what ever the fuck i want, whether it be a big ass pizza and ice cream or a chinese meal out with the missus. Aslong as you are working hard in training and eating right the rest of the week you deserve to treat yourself. Dont fret to much bro.

I agree, I wouldn't feel bad. It all depends on your goals and where you want to be. You can always make up for it in the gym etc. Give us an example of one of your cheat days, just curious. Thanks.

thanks for the info. ok well once a week my girl and i go out to dinner wherever she wants, last night we went to an italian spot and i had. wheat pasta in olive oil with chicken and some veges, followed by tiramisu. stopped eating desert because thats my weekness. plus the bread at these joints is sooo damn good. back to the dinner, its not that bad but i didnt cook it so i have no clue how they prep, i ask for no butter but never know, dont know how real the chicken is most likely processed, if i dont cook it i dont feel like im on my diet. i am 5'9" 165lbs 10-12% bf. working on losing bf. train hard 4x per and hard cardio 3x per non training days. i know its me but i was 195 at one point 25-30% bf and do not want to go back there ever.
