I definitely feel fuller from whole-food meals, especially when I’m cutting, but I still keep whey around because it’s an easy way to bump up protein without adding a huge meal.

I still track most days, but I don’t freak out if I’m off by a little. My biggest focus is hitting protein and staying around my calorie target. If dinner with friends happens and I can’t measure everything, I just make a reasonable estimate and move on. I’d rather have a sustainable routine than ski ...
