you want to know your needs your caloric needs that you're not massively overeating you're not massively undereating but again that is one strategy so you know your what Your caloric requirements are but then you need to know what protein you need how much carbs you need how much fat you need what sources of foods work for your body that you want to use to hit those targets and then are you hitting your micronutrients and then maybe you maybe you take a liver capsule to cover some of those micronutrients maybe you take vitamin D to cover some n micronutrients or go out in the sun and things like this so it's there's a multi-tiered approach to managing the diet that's not just calories and it's not just blood glucose regulation it's multiple steps to get things right
