Getting Lean While Eating the Foods You Love

"It's allowed me to get to a very lean level of body fat while eating the foods that I love," he says. "I would go crazy and binge-y, still lean, but I felt emotionally unhealthy." If you're trying to get down to 15% or even 10%, tracking calories is not necessary unless you do something very extreme. But if you want to get to that next level, you don't need it at this point in your life.
