Exactly. What I eat just before and while I work out doesn't look anything like what I eat the rest of the day. I probably take in 50 grams of sugar/fast carbs for a 45 minute to an hour lifting session, and the rest of the day the only carbs I will take in is 1/2 cup dry of oatmeal.

My goal is health. Weight loss was just a side benefit but granted everyone is better at 20 pounds lighter.
My workouts are have become less about growth more about low impact/body weight resistance/practical movement.
If I am "over taxing" myself its usually related to a hike in the White Mountains.
Just eat lots of shit with eyeballs and lots of veg.
I love the Whites! Do you ever get up into Maine? Grafton Notch is great so are the Bigelows! My daughters and I spend a lot of time out there.
Only thing I ever hiked in Maine was Katahdin via Knife Edge just after I left USMC.
Id love to get the fams across that, Knife Edge was fantastic.
Last time we were up NH we did Webster-Jackson Loop....
From the arrow to 1 to Mizpah Hut than back to 302 via Crawford Path. Awesome hike.
If you havent stayed at Eagle Mountain House in Jackson its one of my new favorites up there. The facilities are a bit dated but great bar, and hanging out on the porch in rocking chair drinking is the main entertainment. Easy walk along the river to Jackson for some good breakfast in the AM.
There is a lot of shit the FDA has lied about for a really long time. Just another worthless gov agency that needs to be completely abolished
I'm actually not sure it matters exactly which approach you take as long as you track your intakes, and figure out what works for your body. I am lucky that my wife tracks everything for each meal. Calories, macros, some more granular measures. It is a lot harder to go wrong when you know what is going in.
It is not dissimilar from anything else body related. Some people just have better reactions to different inputs. There is no law of nature that sets of five are going to be the best for any individual, but after doing things for a while, and keeping notes, it gets pretty easy to see what your body likes, be it food, exercise or sleep. It is not rocket science.
And yes, the FDA sucks, but as I have mentioned elsewhere, a lot of the suck in dietary recommendations is political pressure to come up with an "ideal" diet that poor people can afford. I tend to eat a ton of deer, elk and beef, but that isn't exactly a diet for somebody who is on the welfare and lives in a city, so you get the garbage RDAs we get.

I was told I should hunt for my favorite food out in the wilderness.
anyone know where to find wild pizza? What caliber should I use?

Balance your macronutrients to meet your goals. No trans-fats, eschew simple carbs, eat clean proteins (for me that excludes soy). Depending on your goals, do carb/protein/fat percentages such as 50/30/20 (just an example).
Reasonable amount of exercise daily (don't pound your joints if you're over 50, you'll regret it ask me how I know).
You can turn yourself into a science project (read Tom Venuto's books) or you can just use common sense + a little nutrition education.
If you work like an 18 year old farmhand, you can eat like an 18 year old farmhand. Otherwise, balance your intake and calorie expenditures to match your lifestyle.
The body is a bio machine that responds to input/output like any other machine. Don't put more gas in the tank than you use.
Eat several small (balanced macronutrient) meals rather than three large ones, to keeps your insulin levels from spiking and eliminate hunger pangs. Don't starve. Give yourself occasional cheat days.
Oh and the government says wear a mask/don't wear a mask (sorry I couldn't help myself!).

We've been on KETO for about a year now. Strict at first (20g carbs or less/day) but I'm more "low carb" at this point. I dropped 20 lbs in a few months and now I just hover at my goal weight. I missed sandwiches.. We found some really good tortilla wraps, but I really missed hot, toasted sandwiches. We found this bread a few weeks ago and its delicious, at least when toasted.
That's kinda the problem with all diets. none of them tell you how to move forward with food after you achieve your weight goal. It's really more about a lifestyle/eating style change than a "diet" per se, at least one with a name. @impactaddict that looks like really good bread 
This is the only bread I do:
Ezekiel Sprouted Bread | Food For Life | Ezekiel Bread Ingredients
Toasted with some high quality salted butter, it is a real treat.
