Would one free meal a day work? Or just a few times a week? How badly would the impact my dietary efforts?[/quote]

Did you read the post?  1-2 meals a week.

It really depends on your goals, but if you are going for reasonable, long-term and sustainable weight loss, a couple free meals a week will help you stay on track.

An example of a "free meal" would be a dinner out somewhere.  Eat according to your diet that day, then go out for a reasonably-portioned steak dinner with perhaps a carb that would be off-limits on your diet.  Don't go all out, just enough to satisfy you, then back to your diet the next day. [/quote]

Gosh I do 1-2 days a week where I eat literally whatever I want. Restricting to such a point where you can't eat a piece of beef with a slice of cheese and a whole wheat bun would do me in. I need fat and protein and sodium, I'm an athlete! I buy or make sliders more than burgers ~ the burgers have gotten so big that they are crazy, a slider gets me what I need/want but doesn't leave me ill. [/quote]

That sounds good to me.  OP's post is in "diet and exercise," which led me to believe she was on some serious diet or something.  Great if you're not trying to lose weight, and even better if you're eating reasonable portions of fat/protein/carbs.  Don't see anything wrong with that.[/quote]
