Cheat meals are little treats we all deserve. Sometimes, indulging in our favourite comfort foods, even if they are high-calorie, is just what we need to recharge mentally and keep ourselves motivated on our healthy eating journey. Recently, actor Mrunal Thakur had a splendid Sunday where she enjoyed a guilt-free cheat meal in Mumbai. She couldn't resist sharing pictures on Instagram of her day out. Her spread included French toast, a croissant, a glass of Iced Latte and black coffee. The Sita Ramam actor added a playful caption: "Sunday calories don't count, RIGHT?" She also visited the Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount in Bandra, capturing the moment with several pictures which she posted to her Instagram.
