Eating Like A Programmed Machine!

One of the funniest things about eating clean and healthy is the fact that after a while, you memorize which foods provide which macros, their ratios and which ones are abundant in micronutrients. It gets to the point that wherever you go, you can sometimes eyeball the nutrients without even looking at the label.
Best examples would be lentils -- without fail, I can tell you it has somewhere around 20-27g carbs, 10g protein, 0g fat and 11g fiber. Then you have something like plain greek yogurt which would be about 10-15g across the board between fat, carbs and protein and the fact that if you don't eat carrots for your Vitamin A, it's totally replaceable with boiled sweet potatoes and cooked spinach, as the Vitamin A content seems much stronger when cooked versus raw or even something as simple as lean 4oz of chicken breasts usually being almost 0g carbs, about 20g protein and about 2g fat while a 4oz can of tuna does about the same minus the fat. Just go ahead and "insert your nutritional data site of choice".
The main thing about it is that it helps you with meal planning for your fitness goals -- whether it be endurance racing, power lifting, growing muscle, energy boost or even muscle recovery.
