My bestie is a protein bro and he's 300 pounds at 5 foot 10. Any time he tries losing weight his number one priority is eating enough proteins. Usually he gains weight when he goes on a diet because that makes no sense. I love him to death but I worry about him. Humans eat way too much. I workout 7 or 8 times per week and I eat a lot less than my mom who's 75, a bad knee and 250 pounds . I worry about her too.

Make your own food as much as possible, move everyday, slow down on the "am I eating enough" bullshit, have a general idea of your calorie expenditure and intake... It's not rocket science! it's mostly being aware of the brain trying to trick us into a sedentary lifestyle. That organ does not care about your long term health; it's still in caveman mode.
