In the past year I've dropped 40lbs of fat and have put on a good amount of muscle. For my goals, which are fat loss and lift as much weight as possible, Id say I've hacked my nutrition pretty well. Instead of limiting how much I eat, I limit the ingredients I eat. For 6 day out of the week I'll only eat red meat, chicken, fish, sweet potatoes, broccoli, natural peanut butter and ezekiel bread. I keep it high protein, typically around 50-60% protein, then fats and carbs make up the rest. I don't count calories, if I get hungry I eat and just make sure I'm eating more protein than fats or carbs. 1 day out of the week I have a massive cheat day, eat anything and everything. If you do this right, you'll feel sick by the end of the day. The cheat day is great because it gives you something to reward yourself with every week, this greatly helps me eat clean during the week, knowing that I can reward myself in a few days if I stick with it.
