How do I overcome the need to eat a minimum in recovery?

​

I won't get into numbers obviously but basically 4 of my Ed "rules" are that I need a minimum amount of protien. fruit/veg and fibre in a day (all can roll on from day before but otherwise...). I have read alot about breaking these rules by disobeying them, however in my mind to disobeying them would be to deliberately not hit them... which is still restricting? How do you tackles rules like these.
