i wanted to know if im doing this iifym thing correct judging on my food diary. about 3 weeks ago i upped my calories from 1200 to 1790 because alot of people said i was under eating. Due to only eating 1200 for 4 months, i had a terrible bing on halloween. after that i ran across a diet called iifm and decided to give it a try.

(If anyone go through my food diary please excuse today lol. Im and rotc and due to our veterans day parade we was one the road alot and the only thing that was avalible was fast foods, even though i was still under my calorie goal.)

    The great thing about IIFYM is that the focus is on macros, not what makes up the macros. Just a really quick glance at your diary suggests you're on track. Just keep hitting the protein, fats, and carbs macros and you're good. If you find that 179o calories isn't moving you towards your goals after giving it some time then make adjustments.
