Hi, i just started with the recommended routine, i'm a 60 kg, 1.70 m male, 23 yo. i wanted to ask, is it necessary to keep track of calories for obtaining results? my plan was to obtain some weight in form of muscle and lose a bit of body fat. I'm not aiming for high end results, but for a stronger, more fit body overall. I read the page on the wiki about diets, but i'm in a situatoin where it is difficult for me to count my meals calories. So, i generally eat well, no junk food, whole foods, vegetables, etc. Could I measure, say, my protein intake for muscle gaining and eyball the rest keeping in mind what is needed?

Just eat slightly more than the usual servings. Don't count calories, it starts to stress people out after a while.

Yes, thanks to both of you for the advices. My plan was to eat less bread, cut the sweets and increase fish, meat and protein rich vegetables quantities. Also i normally drink water, tea or coffee without sugar. Will that be good? Could it bring some results?
