Eat to exercise or exercise to eat?

I strive for balance in my life. Balance between career and family, between exercise and lying on the couch, balance in the foods I eat.

I exercise for my overall health and well being and general fitness. It's nice that regular exercise also allows me to eat a little more. I'm a recreational cycling enthusiast, so not hugely concerned with eating for performance...I figure a solid, nutritionally sound diet is just fine...no clue what my macros are and don't care.

I am not normal and I know it. Very driven. I lift extremely heavy way past what most can people can take as far as pain. I have lifted a very long time but very smart and never injured myself. But I really enjoy my lifestyle. So I measure my pleasure in a different way than most.

You say this like you are the only person out there who lifts heavy *kitten*.

Five state powerlifting records, and I still eat what I like and do the exercise I like.

Oh I forgot that you lifted... My bad Quicky. It's great you have the genes to eat what you want. Hope your genetics holds up. Awesome about the state records! I am going for National record(s) next year. Never taking drugs in my life but I workout with the untested USPA national record deadlift. Can't wait to beat the steroid losers. Then I am going to break the tested record just to show I am clean. If you have an email I will send it to you when I break both records. Probably will not be on too many more chats with MFP. I like to track my macros and calories with MFP though.
