Me and my wife are big foodies, so cutting out all food that isn't strictly "healthy" was never an option lol. I usually burn ~800 calories at the gym, that's a whole stick of butter lol

We still have been making healthier choices in general (protein pasta instead of regular, chicken breast instead of thighs, and less oil/butter while cooking, but weve been able to get healthy while for the large part eating the same as how we did before.

The biggest change is that were a lot more cognizent about protein, and we log our meals, but neither of those is an issue
