I always trained and worked out, haven't stopped since I was 10 years old. I always dieted and ate well by most standards(I was constantly up in down in large volumes of weight), but it was a matter of finding what works for my body and sticking with it for the rest of my life, I had 3 nutritionist before I met one that understood, high caloric diets don't always fuel everyone the same way. My body functions way better with less calories than more. Luckily the nutritionist worked with athletes and understood the difference in training that focuses on the use of economy of motion. His point was you train your body to have efficient output of energy, so if I have a higher caloric intake, I will have a surplus at the end of the day, well at least thats how I understood it at the time. So for nearly 3 years I've used a modified paleo diet, all organic all natural and try not to take anything synthetic into my body.
