Denise24,

There is no assigned "cheat day" with the Slim-Fast Plan.  However, if you stick to the recommended calorie intake, I would not necessarily consider that "cheating".  You can definitely eat other foods that are not assigned in your plan.  We do of course recommend sticking with the healthier foods if possible (i.e. lean protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc.), but we understand if every once in a while you choose something different instead.

As for the hot dog dinner, in terms of calories, yes its fine.  However, since hot dogs and french fries tend to be high in fat, calories, and sodium, I would recommend using this dinner option only every once in a while.

I was wondering if while on the slimfast you can have a built in cheat day as long as it follows the calorie intake or must you stick to it every day. Also  for dinner is it okay to have a hot dog and french fries with a fruit cup if it equals up to 500 calories please i would love to know the answer to this?
