I have been very strict with my clean bulk for three months now and I am starting to feel a bit burnt out. I am wondering if cheat meals are actually necessary or even beneficial for long term muscle growth. Some people say they help with hormones and mental health.

I am worried that one big cheat meal will just turn into a cheat weekend and I will lose all my progress. I have a lot of social events coming up and I do not want to be the guy bringing a Tupperware of chicken and rice to a BBQ.

How do you guys incorporate cheat meals into your bulk? Do you have a scheduled day or do you just eat what you want when you feel like you need a break? I want to find a sustainable balance that allows me to grow without losing my mind.
