It kinda is as you say est right part of that is eat the correct amount of calories for your life and workload. If you are starting off to many calories you arent eating right at the basic level you need to adjust that down and correct your balance there and run a slight deficits. Me eating super healthy whole foods etc but eating 3000 calories a day when my daily intake should be around 2000 and im only doing 800kj of work 3 times a week isnt eating right, even if i am only putting good food in. Weight control is rather a simple math equation of how much you put in and how much you burn. Coming at this as a starting point of 230lbs january 22 and dropped down to 216 just by increasing frequency of workload through the rest of 2022. Now further down to 204 with more stringent calorie counting. At the same time with introducing structured training ftp has gone from 257 october 22 to 300 april 23. When it comes to performace a minor 2-5lb swing isnt gonna make a huge difference. I also could still drop another 15-20lbs and plan to but its not a huge rush. To make it sustainable it needs to be a longer term change for me working a minor deficit.
