Finding balance between a healthy diet and enjoyment of life

As someone trying to improve my health and wellness, I've been wondering - where's the line between a beneficial healthy diet and one that becomes overly restrictive and stressful? I've been trying to eat 80g of protein, lots of veggies and whole grains, take my vitamins, drink plenty of water, etc. But it feels like there's always more I 'should' be doing - cut out all sugar, never eat out, measure every gram... At what point does the stress of maintaining a 'perfect' diet outweigh the health benefits? How do we balance nutrition with still enjoying food, social gatherings, and life? I want to be healthy but I don't want my entire life to revolve around my diet. Has anyone else struggled to find this balance? Where do you draw the line between healthy habits and going overboard?

Balance is key. Aim for 80/20 - eat nutritious foods most of the time, but allow yourself treats and flexibility. Don't let diet consume your life or social interactions. Moderation and enjoyment are important parts of overall wellness.

Balance is key, mate! Nourish your body, but don't forget to feed your soul. Enjoy that occasional treat without guilt. Life's too short for constant food stress. Find what works for you and makes you feel good - physically and mentally.
