I am thinking about moving away from a strict macro counting approach and trying a more whole food Mediterranean style diet. I have read that it is great for longevity and heart health but I am wondering if it is effective for maintaining a lean body composition.

I still want to stay fit and have some muscle definition but I am tired of the constant tracking. The Mediterranean diet includes a lot of fish, olive oil, and nuts which I love. Do you think I can still reach my fitness goals on this type of plan?

I would love to hear from anyone who has made this shift. Do you still track your calories or do you just eat until you are full? I am in the US and I am looking for a more sustainable way to eat for the long term while staying active at the gym.
