I'm not sure what to tell you besides it's true. I did crossfit for years without monitoring my diet and was always disappointed with how little I felt my body changed. I monitored my caloric intake for two months and was shocked to see how much of a difference it made. Also, weight gain/loss should be measured on a weekly scale rather than daily. You might feel like your eating isn't consistent but it could be on a weekly-basis. For example, you might barely eat one day but eat 3500 calories the next. That seems like inconsistent dieting but in actuality, they average each other out.
