A couple of hours ? Maybe I'm missing something.

My cheat meal, is done pretty fast, I do not have a huge stomach, usually 15-20min. I have to choose wisely cause there is not much room there, even if I plan to eat many things, I end-up eating very little, like a cup of rice with chicken and a chocolate bar and I'm full, or the other day I've cooked chocolate chips cookies and was able to eat 8-9, nothing else could get in...

My cheat meal is my 5th meal of the day and even though it's not 'excessive' I cannot take my 6th meal of the day (the shake). If I try to shove more food, I end-up with stomach pain and will have a hard time sleeping.

When Steve says he ate 3 x 12'' at subways and 6 cookies, I'm like WTF, one 12'' and I would be done until the next day lol. I use to eat a lot when I was 20, like my usual lunch was a whole chicken and 1kg of yogurt, but not anymore. I think eating clean all year round killed my capacity to eat a lot.

What I was trying to say, is sometime, I will need to plan a diet not in June to finally have some of those looking good ribs. I do not eat ribs on cheat day since it's too much fat and not enough carbs to be my re-feed meal.
