This is how I lose weight

This is how I lose (and maintain) weight. Advantages: If you stick to it, it works. Reliably. Spreadsheet tells me when I can eat, how much I can eat, and how much protein I should get in the near future. It helps me follow a nutrition plan where I eat 20 or more grams of protein in every 3 hour window, and 130-160 grams of protein every day. This means I actually lose fat, instead of muscle, and keep most of my muscle mass. Disadvantages: Requires an aptitude for numbers. Requires food with nutritional information, and/or constant look-ups on a site like TheCalorieCounter.com . Requires weighing most items you consume, i.e. all items where the nutritional information is not framed for a practical, reliable serving. For meals consisting of multiple ingredients, requires a cook willing to weigh every single ingredient, as well as the end result. Some exercise is still necessary. You don't get any protein while you sleep. Muscle will atrophy if unused. I've been us
