I don't do any calorie or macro counting except for trying to avoid saturated fat and keep it as low as possible. Some days may have some macros be slightly over or short, but that's fine. My diet will typically give me around 40g of fiber per day. 70% of my calories come from mostly complex carbs, with some simple carbs here and there. Eating all the complex carbs like rice, beans, fruits and veggies gives me all the protein I need and provides lots of fiber with low fat.

The body has all your fat stores for fat. A vegan like me has way more than plenty of glycogen in the reserves, and 90g of protein mostly from the entire lining of your upper digestive tract gets recycled everyday, so it's not like missing 10g worth will ruin your plans. It's virtually impossible to design a diet that is sufficient in calories but deficient in protein, even a plant-based one. We're very adaptable organic machines. It's a truly impressive feat of nature.

i respect that you're able to do this without needing to keep track. and it's impressive that you still know how much protein/fiber/etc you're getting despite not keeping track of it.

as someone that eats for pleasure, i needed to keep track of calories to make sure i wasnt overdoing it. and i might need to do the same for other areas of nutrition.
