IIFYM – If It Fits Your Macros What Is It and How Does it Work?

[Repacked]

Anyone following IIFYM?

Where's it going...?

 

[Timeah]

I think most people take it out of context personally. Most of the food comes from a "clean (fuck off.)" source. Lean meats, veges etc, then leaving a % of your cals for something more tasty.
85-90% "bro science clean" is fine.

That's how I roll these days.... not that I can usually be fucked counting cals. Only when really changing my diet drastically to give me an idea of how much I can/can't eat, then I don't bother again

Yep to a certain degree, I eat pretty well probably 80% of the time. Always leave room in the macros/cals for dat der ice cream !

That is all.

people need to concentrate more on micro-nutrients, the stuff that matters, not the protein/carbs/fats. food needs to have BOTH micro and macro.

if the macro has no micro, whats the point in eating it?

 

[Jungnaut]

Cuz it tastes fukken awes??

Alcohol has no micros I know of and plenty of people partake.

yes it does, beer stopped scurvery, a disease from lack of vitamins.

and if your from the right descendent, has been apart of history for longer than history dates in your textbooks.

try again.

edit: yeast is a good source if vitamin b and the story behind johnnie appleseed, making apple cider is quite good in the history books.

Eat me

I use a bit of IIFYM, I'm not an idiot about it though.
Still have my 3 major 'clean meals'.
I'm pretty accustom to then have some cake, toblerone, peach tea, donuts, coke, smarties, etc - around workout times, usually within two hours of workout.
This usually makes up most of my daily sugars for the day. Usually I hit around 100g sugar, then 250g denser carbs.

The most pertinent part is the distinction made between smart people and the bro crowd.
