Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

I don’t think that’s necessary for most people. For bodybuilders sure, but for the average person this just forms an unhealthy relationship with food. Sure, you can start being calorie conscious, but most of the population don’t need to be that strict on calories. If they have a specific goal and need to lose weight as soon as possible sure, but that doesn’t build lasting habits.
