I can pretty much eat what I want. I watch things, too, but I'm in the
dojo several times per week, either working out, teaching or sparing.

Hey, dojo reminds me of donuts.
Be a good name for a donut shop. "Dojo's Donuts."
Yesterday my wife made me biscuits and pork sausage gravy.
About 4 eggs and a couple pork patties on the side.
Damn can she cook!
Damn can I eat!
What I do is eat whatever I want when I want it, but make sure I
don't want it too much. I can live a few days on cereal, then get
a fat or meat craving and dig in. Then I don't even think of fatty
foods until the craving comes back. If it comes too soon, I know it
and suppress it.
I'm not slim, but not fat either, although the "nutritional
scientists" might say I am.
Think I learned to adjust my appetite when I was working in the office
and eating prime rib lunches downtown almost every day.
Got up to about 230. I didn't want to give up pizza so I made a deal
with myself that once a month I could eat all the pizza I wanted.
It worked, and got me to 180 in about six months, and I never felt
deprived because I knew I could pig out on pizza once a month.
Just can't imagine spending a lifetime not eating some good fatty
food. Rather make other adjustments.
Haven't been past 210 since then and usually around 200.
Of course there's the exercise part, but just walking and occasional
busy work seems to be enough for me.
