Words mean things.
I’ve never liked the term “cheat meal” or “cheat day.”
We don’t cheat—we make calculated decisions.
We’re grown men with a plan, not kids sneaking cookies.
The goal is to make decisions that support the man you’re becoming.
And sometimes, that includes a burger with the boys or a glass of wine with your wife.
That’s not weakness. That’s strategy.
You don’t need to skip your anniversary dessert.
You just need to plan for it. Log it. Own it.
Don’t blow your week by blacking out with 5,000 calories in one sitting.
It’s not cheating if it’s part of the plan.
The real goal?
Wake up the next morning with no regrets.
I’ve never regretted a stack of pancakes after training hard all month.
I log it, account for it, and get back to work.
But if you’re the kind of guy where one bite turns into a blackout—
Let’s talk.
There are ways to navigate this without wrecking your progress.
Point is—
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about control.
It’s about discipline and freedom.
And that only comes from having a plan.
This is The T Project.
We don’t guess. We lead.
