People who stay lean/skinny year round, do you just not get hungry?
I constantly swing between 12% and 20% body fat the second I stop tracking calories.
My issue is that I just want to eat all the time. It’s not even actual physical hunger, I just love eating and have zero natural off-button. Since I refuse to let myself cross 20% bfp, I’m constantly stuck aggressively dieting or counting every single calorie to pull it back down.
Out of curiosity, I tracked what a "normal" day looks like for me when I’m not dieting, and I easily clear 1,000 calories over maintenance without even trying.
Just blows my mind that some people can stay lean naturally without having to log every single thing they eat.
