Studies have shown that a cheat meal every now and then is important if you want to lose weight. But before you run to your nearest goodies' store and down a tub of ice-cream, check out these 8 cheat meals that are worth the calories!

1. Chocolate cinnamon rolls

2. Pepperoni pizza

Pepperoni pizza is the reason we breathe although we'll do with any pizza we're given. The stretching cheese, the crunchy crust, the body-warming pepperoni...we're drooling just at the thought of it.


3. Cheese and bacon burger with a side of onion rings

Why bother with a generic beef burger when you can order some extra cheese and bacon with that? Trust us, the combination is simply majestic. Grab an order of extra crispy onion rings while you're at it, your taste buds will be thanking you.


4. Glazed donuts

We've heard that baked doughnuts are fairly healthy but why bother with healthy on your cheat day? We love glazed doughnuts with sprinkles on top. We just can't get enough!


5. Birthday cake

It's a birthday! One does not simply refuse a slice of cake on someone's birthday. That's rude, and you don't want to be considered rude, now, do you?


6. Ice cream waffle

Think of this; cold, yummy, goodness on a bed of warm, soft, delight. We've got you craving for some waffles with a scoop of ice cream on top, haven't we? Go crazy with the flavours and toppings, it's cheat day after all!


7. Kinder pancakes

Tune in with your inner-child and let Kinder work its magic on you. What better way to start the day off than with some fluffy pancakes rubbed with kinder chocolate and finished off with a waterfall of cereal?


8. Milkshake

We don't care if our drink doesn't go well with the steak we've ordered, we like ourselves a good ol' milkshake. And damn right, it's better than yours!




Although small in size, these little treats can be a mouthful. But we'd indulge in this mouthful of delight any day of the year.

Close your mouth, wipe the saliva off your floor and go get yourself an Instagram-worthy cheat meal. You deserve it.
