Of course you can. I think if you hit your macros it then simply becomes cals in vs cals out.
The issue for me is not can u cut - the issue is overall health and nutrition. Whether we like it or not this is an unhealthy lifestyle - the body is put under constant stress. Add to that chemical assistance etc and it really is not a healthy lifestyle. There are more to micronutrients than vitamins - there are efa's , antioxidants, flavanoids and on and on and on. Even knowing you could cut on junk food i never saw the prudence in taking in empty calories from highly processed , nutritionally depleted , often sugar packed foods. Even though this is being touted as a recent development nutritonally speaking - it isnt. Its the oldest principle known as far as weight loss - cals in vs cals out.
I think nutrient timing is overstated and for the most part meaningless. I think meal frequency is meaningless. However IMO proper nutrition should never be overlooked. For you everyday person its important. For those placing their body under all the added stresses we do - its essential.
