"My advice: eat when you are hungry, eat real food, forget about macros." This is always my go-to response when people ask me about my diet. If you simply eat only when hungry, and only eat real food, you're going to be in decent shape on average. There is a lot of detail and difficulty hiding behind those two simple requirements though. For example, eating only when hungry implies that we stop eating when we are no longer hungry. Avoiding binge sessions is sometimes very challenging. And accepting a simple definition of "real food" can be surprisingly challenging. Things that don't make the cut: Frozen pizzas, almost all fast food, even orange juice.
