What works is not eating more calories than you burn. There's nothing else that matters.
You don't need to worry about carbs or proteins or other macros unless you're trying to get into single digit fat %. -

It works, but only because it's a low calorie diet, and only for a while. After a few weeks, your metabolism adjusts to it and you stop losing weight.
It's an okay diet if you only need to lose a few lbs. -

I eat 200g protein per day but high carb too as I go to the gym every day, sometimes twice a day. Running sans carbs is grim.
I don't really pay attention to the fat content I have.
You're not interested in bettering yourself though so these are lost words.

I drink a lot less than I used to and have largely replaced alcohol with the gym. I think my record recently was something like 22 gym sessions in 12 days.
I absolutely love working out until I'm ready to collapse, listening to heavy tunes and the dopamine buzz you get.

I'm trying to get my protein through food, but I know that I still need to supplement with a protein powder. I used to have this great recipe for no-bake refrigerated chocolate & peanut butter oatmeal cookies that used plain protein powder, oats, cacao, peanut butter… I need to look for that recipe. The cookies were incredibly delicious and only used those ingredients. You'd just put scoops out on a waxed or paper sheet, pop them in the fridge overnight, and they were ready to eat. Pretty healthy, too! It's a great way to get some of that protein in.
Now I have a hankering!!
