Is this OK to do”
I diet Monday - Friday week eating very high amounts of protein. My carb intake is about 30% of my diet while fats are around 5% I never eat more then 2400 calories a day. I perform 25 minutes of cardio (cycling) every morning (4:00 am). I perform a split 4 routine never working the same muscle in one week. A typical workout takes me about 1-1/2 – 2 hours. But when Saturday and Sunday comes around I eat everything in site. For instance a typical Saturday would be 3 eggs for breakfast, 3 Bud Drafts w/ 12 Hot Wings w/ a side of fries w/ gravy for Lunch, Supper would consist of 4 pieces of pizza and a couple bread sticks, and a late night snake would be an additional 3 pieces of pizza. not to forget to mention I drink a 2-litter bottle of diet Pepsi throughout the day. Sunday is not as a bad but I do eat alot.
Through the week I’m strict and work very hard but when the weekend comes around I feel as if I’m cheating myself.
Is this OK to do?

Whats your b/f? You shouldn't go to far over board, but considering your carb reduction during the week i'm surprised you have any energy to lift at all.
If your happy with your appearance thats all that matters. But if your not then you know where to start cleaning up your diet at.

TO a point, yes. I allow my self two meals One on saturday and one on suday where I stray from my diet. On saturday it is usually break fast, and on sunday it is supper with the In laws (who believe that bacon grease in a major food group and the only form of seasoning!)
Allowing oneself one or two cheat meals a week makes it easier to follow that diet the rest of the week.
As for you're diet during the week it is o.k. to eat more food (the good stuff) as long as your not adding fat or sugar to your diet.
Also, Since you are exercising, your body is going to need more FUEL therefore, feed the need. You'll still lose body fat, no matter how many good calories you eat. The calorie myth is slowly being seen for it's flaws.
