I guess I discovered the problem, the problem being that tracking food made me too food focused, which made me unable to stick to my diet because it's all I'd think about. The fact I'd be trying to fit in junk food, that also triggered me to eat more junk, because the junk food is addicting, tasting all that nice stuff must fuck with the brain/appetite in some way, because when I stopped eating the junk I no longer crave it.
Now just eating a select few protein sources and veggies, and sprinkling olive oil on them, getting shredded has never been easier. I don't even think about food or feel hungry and I'm in the best shape of my life, I've fallen back in love with lifting because I'm finally seeing all the gains I've made since there's no longer a layer of fat over my muscle mass making me look like a DYEL fattie.
Feels fucking good man, and too top it off, I feel much healthier not eating junk food.

Clean eating actually literally not even memeing works if you just eat meat and veg. You can get lean so easy doing that, without tracking anything.

You are just really dumb thats all it is

It's the carbs dude.
They're not a problem per se, but you have to earn the right to eat them.
The more active you are and the leaner you are, the more carbs you can eat.
>Over 20% bodyfat? No carbs for you.
>15-20% bodyfat? Limit your carbs to before or after your workouts (or other intense activity)
>Below 15% bodyfat? You don't have to worry about carbs that much, just don't eat too much of them.

yeess anon, transition to the cool, racial food pyramid, you can do eeet.
CICO autists don't understand the type of calories you put in (and the amount of fiber) effects how hungry you are
I eat chicken breast and Brocolli for lunch, with a side of almonds, and it fills me the fuck up all day for only 400 calories, shits insane, yet a400cal slice of cake would leave me hungry as fuck

Same OP.
Meat, veggies, fruit, and a little dairy. No cheating. Never allow yourself to feel hunger. Constantly shove veggies and meat into your mouth.
This idea of clean bulking, 100 calories over TDEE is a shot in the dark.
