I'm guessing you want to lose weight in a controlled manner and make it stick. So you could try eating 200 or so more calories a day - you'll still be under your calorie limit (I'm guessing) and you won't need so much willpower as you won't be in a bad mood all the time. Which means you're more likely to stick to eating well.

This is my approach - and has been for a few years now. Sustained fat loss throughout that period and generally a lot happier than when I have tried stupid diets in the past. The problem with diets is that they don't leave me with good habits after, whereas eating sensibly and training over a longer period of time leaves you with a pretty robust approach to food.
Also - you simply cannot train hard without eating properly. End of.
I seem to be running too much of a calorie deficit and seem to be in a shitty mood constantly and mildly raging and things that needn't be raged at. Might need to start eating more. Anyone else experienced this?
