It was late 2013 and I’d just paid $30 USD to receive “personalised macros and a nutrition plan.” I had 20 percent body fat. The (very good) science that got those figures classed me as optimal body composition, athlete-status and with no changes recommended. I trained hard six days a week and paid a great deal of attention to my nutrition.
No changes recommended didn’t help me though. Because as I’ve shared openly, I was deep in the throes of disordered eating and body dysmorphia.
So, changes I sought.
