Over the last 2 year i have counted calories/macro's constantly using myfitnesspal.
Well recently i have just stopped and im prefering it? Just making food as i am hungry and whatever i want really and not planning. When i use to count it would make me slightly unsocial with foods etc and saying ok *this* is for dinner as i need so much protein so much carbs and so on... Recently though (Only 2 weeks ago) i just says enough. I fast everyday anyway but around lunch time i will make whatever i fancy and even the *junk* foods as thier classed i will always have. I do eat relatively healthy and balanced but i also enjoy relaxing with whatever i want really.
My weight has remained stable and my training feels great. No dips in energy or anything. The biggest plus is my appetite has been stable where as previous i would have urge's to binge and constantly feel hungry even after big meals. I would use coffee etc to try blunt this but its very short lived. Weird but now it feels a normal appetite? My protein is still around roughly what i will need and fats and carbs will just fill any blanks but i dont count any at all. I think constant diet changes and your hormones must get all over the place and your body is trying to balance this? I have swapped my training around also from the classic bro split to full body routines and im enjoying that very much so far also. I cycle on my bike 5 times per week as at the moment its my transport so i just include that as cardio and dont do any other forms.
Do you think if training is on point and rest time this will still produce results? Im around 14% bodyfat which for the UK at this time of year (Currently 2c outside) Im more than happy with that. Summer time is a bit different but were months away from then.
I just needed to break the habit of constantly planning foods and i would make food almost *bland* just to satisfy the macro counter ie plain chicken etc just to bump proteins. Im never gonna compete i just want to be in good shape year round but also enjoy having a steady appetite and also enjoy any foods really.
Thanks guys
