Hey!
Just looking to dig up others out there who are following iifym or watching their macros primarily. I'm working in losing weight and keep my ratios at 45%protein, 35%fat, and 20% carbs but seem to always be messing around with it since I'm learning haha. Thought it'd be cool to see meals of and support others following the same line of thought out there!

    I do care about my macros, but I like more fat and carbs and less protein. After entering maintenance I tend to keep the amounts of fat and protein the same, so protein percentage dropped to around 18, fat to 42, and carbs went up to 40 - last time I tracked calories, 7 months ago :p

    Yes I've been doing IIFYM for a couple years ago. Why do you have your protein goal set so high? You could drop it and be eating more delicious carbs and getting the same results...
