Thank you so much for contributing to a discussion :) I've seen people benefit greatly from MFP. For myself though, I believe I would become too perfectionist and number- obsessed for it to be a healthy practice. I do think that it is an amazing tool to help people understand the macro composition of their food. I'm so glad you've found a way of eating that works for ya!

Thank you for your reply! :) as with anything, moderation can be an effective strategy. Like you, I can get obsessed with the numbers, but I've found that over time it evolved into guidelines rather than absolutes. Everyone can find a strategy that works for them if they're willing to put in a little effort. I have no problem eating/treating myself to the occasional cheat meals because I know the vast majority of my diet is healthy. The bonus is that I don't fee guilty or worry about sub-optimal food choices because they make up such a small fraction of my total energy intake. maybe I should do a post on my typical daily food in addition to my workouts... :)
I'd read the post if you did!
Alrighty then - I shall do it then! It'll either go up tomorrow night or this weekend, depending on my schedule. Thanks for the upvotes and stay tuned! :)
