I do not count calories, and I do not count macros. However, I do understand the basis of what foods contain the highest starches. There are days in the week my body and muscles feel overloaded on carbohydrates. The days I feel this way are the days I eat at a lower carb count. I am not doing this to starve myself, I simply do this to help my body regulate and not feel puffy any more.
