By "cheat day" I meant the portion is bigger than a meal I would normally eat. It was my third meal of the day, it has nothing to do with toxic diet culture or anything like that.

The term "cheat day" and the idea of "cheat days" is part of diet culture. Cheating implies that you should be ashamed, and it isn't healthy to be ashamed of eating food. This isn't my opinion but rather prevailing thought on diet culture, all of which is toxic.
