    As opposed to dirty macro counting?

    Do you mean count macros while eating mostly nutrient dense foods? If so, yea... lots of people.

    No worries, just for future reference, there isn't really a clean or dirty way of counting macros. There is "clean eating" where people generally stick to a select list of foods they will eat and don't track much in the way of macros because all those foods tend to not be calorie dense, etc.

    I guess that's what I was doing and I noticed that I have gained a lot of muscle..but my belly is looking the same which I'm not excited about so I'm trying to see if maybe counting for a few months will do the trick.
