Sad thing is that you don't even need to be very strict about diet to lose weight or maintain, and have even a modicum of athleticism or health. I eat a pretty dirty 25% in my 75/25 ratio. I'm talking nutty bars, Swiss rolls, fucking donut sticks, ruffles chips, kick-start drinks... idgaf.I don't watch macros all that closely either, although I stack my 75% pretty clean with leafy greens and higher protein sources. It really isn't all that fucking difficult. I just make sure I'm hitting an approximate calorie value based on my activity level, and boom! My abs aren't gonna be on the cover of GQ or Men's Health any time soon, but they also haven't exactly been hiding either. I take stock weekly of how I'm looking, and if I need to eat more or less, a small adjustment usually does the trick. My waist size hasn't gone above 31" in over a decade? And hell, I'm normally sitting around 29". And so what, I lost a few pounds after this last deployment when I stopped hitting the gym so hard and spent more time running. Whoop Di fucking doo.  Gotta love it how complicated fats make it seems when it's easy as fuck.
