#10 Do you have cheat meals? And how often?

I don’t use the term ‘cheat meals’ because when I don’t like how it makes me feel obligated to feel guilty for eating the things I love and have an (almost) embarrassing weakness for.

80% of my diet focusses on whole foods. My main priority is getting my protein in. And then the remaining 20% is left to food choices based on personal preferences.

Learn about why there’s no such thing as clean or dirty foods.
