Maybe I’m just conditioned to approach this like a utilitarian; I’ll think about rough macros for my meals. I’ll load up for legs, back & deadlift etc but I won’t just go full send on spuds, (much as I love them).

I’ll put my body though a lot every week, I can feel a difference between an ‘ample’ and less than optimal protein intake.

Not to say that I don’t deeply appreciate the significance of decent carbs to fuel that exercise (rice, oats, potatoes etc).
