[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2135619, member: 93179"] I don't count calories. I've reduced the number of carbohydrates I eat, and I've increased fattier foods as my energy source instead. I've kept my protein consumption fairly stable, but I choose fattier cuts of meat, oily fish, chicken with skin on, full fat dairy, nuts, etc, and since fat is a much denser fuel source than carbs ( containing a higher percentage of calories if you must involve them) there shouldn't be any deficit. And fat's pretty much a long term sustainable fuel unlike quick fix short term carbs, so much better for exercise. ( Try googling Volek and Phinney re performance and low carbing.) Robbity [/QUOTE]
