The whole egg whites vs egg yokes reminds me of the whole Covid and other things where they tell you to believe in the science. lol
If you are under 30 it may make some sense but once you reach 40+ and you have been paying any attention in life you see the science seems to change with the breeze. Baby formula comes to mind also. lol
Nothing wrong with enjoying food, especially if you are not training hard or trying to compete as long as you find a good balance between enjoyment and nutrition IMO.
I have not been able to train for a few years now due to multiple surgeries on both of my shoulders and finally full shoulder replacement. Somehow I have managed to not get Fat. That doesn't mean I couldn't stand to loose 5-10 lbs but not more, I dont want to be skinny either.
Im like you, when Im not working and on vacation I loose weight. I was on one of my longest vacations recently almost 2 months. It was really medical leave/vacation and lost almost 20 lbs. Not from lack of eating but from eating better and being more active.
Im also right there with you and turn 60 this year. Its not getting any easier to get back into the gym and get things started again. I keep thinking Im almost there but my shoulders (mostly the right, most recent surgery) tells me otherwise a few times a day.
Best of luck with the ankle and hopefully you wont loose much movement. My back doctor thought I would need my lower back fused eventually after 2 back surgeries but it pretty much self fused. My neck did the same thing a few years ago after getting injured and I didnt even realize it until something happened and it broke loose and now has been a rather big annoyance or pain in the neck for the last year. Its SLOWLY getting better because it feels like its self fusing again. Im loosing a little side to side movement but Ill take that over the constant pain that comes with full range.
