Flexible Dieting - if it fits your macros, eat that junk food

[sacred cow]

For those who don't want to stop eating the foods they like and still lose weight this is for you

What is IIFYM?

‘Macro’ is short for Macro Nutrient, of which there are four plus one consideration*:

        Protein
        Carbohydrates
        Fat
        Alcohol (not much nutrition from this one, just calories)
        *Fiber

*Fiber is the consideration that we mentioned above. It is one of the components of the carbohydrate macro nutrient, though many in the nutrition community consider it a micro nutrient. For our purposes, fiber intake should be a major consideration when dieting, therefore we include it in with the other macros.

IIFYM speaks specifically to fat loss from a macro nutrition and thus a caloric stand point and is purely a means to improve body composition. IIFYM does not address health concerns of the heart, brain or other organs and does not put an emphasis on so called ‘healthy eating’.

Regardless if you like to eat pizza, or boiled chicken breasts, IIFYM teaches us that if you eat less calories than your body requires (while getting adequate protein, carbs, fat and fiber based on your goals and the energy needs of your body) you will lose weight at a steady and predictable rate. IIFYM makes fat loss that easy.All you have to do is stay within your daily macros and the fat will start melting off!
