Is any of this even worth it? I lift like crazy, I watch my calories,

Life is difficult and you'll have to show restrain and self-discipline.
Either you can choose a lifestyle of health, aesthetics and strength, or one of fatassery and mediocrity.
Or, you know, you could just have the occasional cheat foot and just not eat like a fat shit once you've made it.

Don't attract that much female attention but some nice grills apreciate that type of body. Can consume a lot of food without gaining significant ammounts of fat and have easy bulks. I can even lose fat when I'm bulking if I go too hard on workouts. I still watch out and dont eat chips and all that oil packed shit because it's plain unhealthy

That stuff doesn't happen everyday. Eat boring the majority of the time and then appreciate it when you can have a treat. It'll make it better anyway. Or not. Do whatever, it's just a matter of which you think is more important. No one ever said being healthy was the most exciting thing.

fitness is meant to improve your life. basically to serve you
if it's stopping you from enjoying things that humans are absolutely meant to enjoy, like a meal with friends or a holiday, you're fucking up and not treating fitness the way you're supposed to
if working out was your job it would make sense to make your diet the highest priority but normally it shouldn't be
just rly fucking think about it

But all the good shit is so calorically dense, even if you're having it just as a treat every now and then, it still adds up, no?

You're too stupid to eat

>Is looking good and being really healthy worth it if I can't order something delicious at a restaurant with my friends?

You can you fucking idiot. Learn to enjoy things in moderation. You're never going to make it if you don't.

Life wouldn't be worth working 80 hours a week but I can just about handle 40. So, take the same approach with your diet.

You can easily cheat like 3 times a week and maintain low bodyfat

How? Calories are still calories.

Goddamn stop being retarded. Either be fit or be a fatass and enjoy yourself. Or just be a normal person and enjoy everything in moderation.

do IF. you'll be able to eat whatever in the two meals.

>if I can't order something delicious at a restaurant with my friends?

who says you can't do that?

It's perfectly possible to be fit, healthy, attractive, and to enjoy the world too
