Ive spent the better part of the past couple years counting my macros exactly on the dot. I went from 145 lbs. in 06 to 220 lbs. in 09. I am back to 150 lbs and around 12 % bf. I have become overly obsessed with what I eat and how much. It is starting to control my life and is taking me down an awful path. My relatives think I am anorexic or something even though I have a lot of muscle mass. I have been a very picky eater trying to fit clean foods into my macros, but that just makes me continue to lose even more weight (means I calculated my maintenance wrong) It has truly turned me into a zombie. I open my freezer every day and my mind immediately goes into calculations and like a complicated math problem that I'm trying to solve. I'm just sitting back regretting the way food has controlled my life for the better part of my early 20's. It has turned me into a shell of my old happy self. I ate 1700 cals or so a day for a year or so.
Bascially, I am tired of counting macros. I'm tired of letting food control my life. I'm tired of being asked why I can't gain weight. I'm tired of having my 31 inch shorts fall off of me because my waist is too small. It's time to bulk. Eat as clean as possible. Eat when I'm hungry. Just make sure to get my protein in each day, veggies, fruits, fiber, etc. Time to wipe some ass, and this time, I'm not using my tongue!
