Cheat meal frequency should be minimized when you're over 15-20% body fat. Basically, the fatter you are, the more likely that any excess food will be shuttled toward body-fat storage rather than muscle mass.  So skip the cheat meal unless you’re lean.  And even then, think of it as an alternative food meal – not a cheat.  Cheat meals are usually glorified forms of dietary debauchery.  Alternative food meals allow for something a little different from the norm without the trough.
