It works.

Works well, as far as losing weight, it's still pretty madatory that you need to eat 80+% "clean" foods. There's no way in hell you can get around eating nothing poptarts and whey protein all day, everyday like most people think.

I'm tired of people confusing IIFYM with "If it fits your calories"

It works and it's very, very misunderstood.

Agreed. It's funny how something so simple can be so misunderstood?

If It Fits (in with) Your Macros

Works for me - but works better from a 'healthy' viewpoint to make sure you have balance from a micronutrient etc perspective also.

its a good start to dieting in my opinion, but after you have some experience you need to understand that the kind of calories you eat can have a huge difference in your body composition, and overall good health

think about it in terms of fuel for your car

Sure regular unleaded is still going to fuel your car, but putting premium gas in your car will make a big difference in performance

unleaded gas = poptarts, pizza, hamburgers etc.

premium gas = oats, red meat, grilled chicken etc.

hope that helps!!

Works well. It's a concept a lot of folks find difficult to grasp. So, they discount it as not being effective.

But, won't both fuels get me to my destination? I guess I don't undestand what you mean by " the kind of calories you eat can have a huge difference in your body composition, and overall good health"? Exactly what kind of "calories" will alter body composition?

Also note that hamburgers are apparently not made of red meat.

sure IIFYM works, but as said above, it needs to be a fragment of your diary, the point is, you make up your macros with mostly nutritious vegetables, lean meats etc, then you eat a big hunk of cheesecake. IIFYM and cheesecake got me through marathon training, i just got so sick of shovelling down rice!
