You can eat junk food while losing fat if you budget for it. First hit your protein and vegetable targets, then use whatever calories remain for cheat meals. If you have 250 calories left, that's your allowance for the day.

How often can you have junk food or cheat food if you're trying to be on a calorie deficit and lose fat? Well, let me explain this to you in terms of money. When you get paid, what's the first thing you need to do? You need to pay your bills. After you do that, you can buy whatever you want. Your calories are the same exact thing. Pay your bills first by doing all of the healthy stuff, and if let's say you do that and you have about 250 calories left, and you want to eat junk food, then you can do that. Because as long as you hit your calorie goal and pay your bills, you can still make progress eating the foods that you enjoy.
