> Eat healthy and you become obsessed with it and get a eating disorder.

Except that's the exception, not the rule - the vast majority of people who eat healthy are not disordered eaters.

> Work out, get injured, need pain killers, get addicted.

Again, this is the exception, not the rule. The majority of people exercise without sustaining an injury.

But you don't know if you are the exception or the rule.

And often it's not as simple as counting calories.

Do you work too hard or not hard enough? Should you learn something or let it be?

Chances are, you are not the exception, and neither am I.

Also, it's not easy, but is as simple as counting calories. Conservation of mass and all that.
