i am definitely not repeating what has been going on in this thread...what i am saying is
nutrient timing is irrelevant to weight loss or muscle building (meaning pre workout, post workout, before bed, breakfast is not the most important meal) worry about hitting your macros, doesn't matter how you time them
you can fit your favorite foods into your diet within reason
light weights more reps does not equal cutting
there is no definition of a "clean food"
there is no need to cut out carbs to lose weight

I tend to agree with you. I am losing weight eating whatever I want as long as it is in the allotted calorie count (currently at 1800 a day for me). This is an interesting article on a study done in the mid 60's regarding calories VS types of food eaten. For the record I like to get a full belly, so I eat lots of foods that have fewer calories per ounce so I can shovel more into my gizzard. That doesn't mean I avoid any foods though, but I tend to eat more whole and natural foods as my wife and I like to cook too. So far my weight loss has been 13lbs lost between Jan 2nd and March 8th. Exercise has been minimum. <<that changes tonight by adding HIIT (my spin cycle was delivered).
