Nothing special....I just eat food. Even eat chick-fil-a one night a week with the kids. (usually skip fries but steal 3 or 4 of the kids ones )
I have even given up tracking macros and done this all by 'feel'. I roughly track my protein totals though. But after spending more than 24 months planning/tracking in deficits and surpluses and deficits, I know roughly what potion sizes are. Planning and tracking is still more effective, but I want to live a more 'laid back' life and truth be told, it becomes diminishing returns at some point. I dont see myself gettng much bigger as I dont want to do what it would take to do that approaching my mid-40's. (just my personal feeling)....so I am enjoying life more....and finding the balance between strength and looking how I want to.
5'9 right at 200lbs right now.
Come on man....that was rough Yea...5'9 is not tall but I am not giving up any of it!
I don't trust myself to go more than a few weeks without counting, so I count up my cals/macros about every 2-3 weeks to stay the course. I am able to also go without counting most of the time, but that's a result of tracking every day for a year and a half straight, with almost no days missed at all. I am sure you are the same.
Yes, I eat Chic-Fil-A as well, but like you, skip the fries. They just aren't "worth it". That's the idea behind the diet though, what is a food "worth" to you? I can eat those nuggets, but are they worth it? Yep! As long as I skip the fries and condiments I can easily fit them in to my day and be happy.
