Remember there is a difference between cheating and a refeed. A cheat is just that...it's not structured and the only reason to do it is for mental sanity.
OTOH, a refeed should be structured, and not more often than every 1.5 weeks. It's typically 90% carbs, and can range anywhere between 200-600 additional carbs. The 600 range is for the really big guys. THe reason for the refeed is to prevent or to attempt to reverse metabolic damage while dieting.
My favorite cheat is pizza. My favorite refeed food are flour tortillas with honey.
