I don't think eating clean means reducing your caloric intake at all. In fact, when I started taking my dietian's advice and started to eat more "clean" I actually had an INCREASE in calories.
That's what happens when you choose whole grains over white carbs, almond butter over 100 calorie packs, real butter over fake margarine, all natural products vs their fat-free versions and farm-raised meat and cheese rather than being a vegetarian/vegan.
It was a difficult switch for me but my weight is the same, I feel much more satisfied, more secure in my meal plan and just plain feel better.
