Let's focus on what works well! I am tracking on MFP every day, and aim to stay within my guidelines 80% of the time, which in practical terms means 8 out of 10 days. Why only 80%? because I am human, and prone to make mistakes every so often, we all do. Most health experts say to aim for and 80/20 rule or 90/10 rule, and that sounds good to me. I do cardio and strength train, not so much for weight control, but to keep me healthy. What works for all of you?

    I agree with your thinking. We are humans bound to make mistakes but most of the time we stick to a plan. With that being said I would reiterate what you said in terms of what works for me.

    IIFYM, tracking macros with MFP. Use a food scale.
    TDEE
    LISS 6x a week for at least 30 mins
    Strength training 3x a week

    Yea I agree. When I look back on my days I am always above goal at least one day in 7. I'm still losing a pound a week so must be ok.

    Keeping things obscenely simple.

    Calorie targets/goals (using TDEE method)
    Macro and micro targets/goals

    All foods, all the time!

    No arbitrary rules.

    Food scale, not restricting foods, and eating at maintenance when I need it (been doing that a lot this month but yay no gaining!).
