No it doesn't make my cravings better or worse. On the days that my calories are low, I have higher protein so that I am more satiated.
And your question is not offensive in the least. When I started this, I started by cleaning up my diet and getting rid of the junk in my diet. One of the things I've discovered about this whole process is that it's different for different people. People try different things because what they are currently doing stops working or they go into a different phase. For example, I'm dieting to lose weight so I would need to restrict calories. Even so, everyonce in a while I need to do what's called a refeed where the macros don't count (calories generally do tho) to give your body a break. Sometimes people need a break and they take their calories up to maintenance so they maintain; and if you are working on a bulking cycle to add muscle, you will eat above maintenance.
