so are you counting the veggies into carb macros, or just the sweet potatoe and carrots as your 30 grams of carbs?

No, I don’t count the veggies or the carrots. The only carbs I worry about are the starchy carbs. They really pack the fat on my body so I monitor them closely. Everything else doesn’t react the same as starchy carbs.
I built this diet on counters to problems. I wasn’t worried about calories. I was more worried about the problems my body was throwing off. If the diet seems complex that’s why. When I had a problem, I researched it and figured out how to fix it. My thinking was, if my body operates optimally, then my body will burn optimally. I didn’t use calories in vs. calories out (per say) as a guide when I built this diet. How I looked in pictures and how I felt was my major concerns. Another thing is I didn’t use the scale as a guide to my fat loss progress. I kept pinching my skin and looking at the pictures to decide if I was headed in the right direction.
