IIFYM

Hey ya'll, new to the site, but been counting calories for a while. Here is my philosophy.

IIFYM stands for If It Fits Your Macros

The word 'Macro' is short for Macro Nutrient, of which there are four: Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat & Fiber. IIFYM deals mostly with the first three of the macros, with less of an emphasis on fiber. IIFYM speaks specifically to fat loss from 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 total calories than your body requires (while getting adequate protein, carbs and fat based on the needs of your own body) you will lose weight at a stead and predictable rate. IIFYM makes fat loss easy. All you have to do is stay within your daily macros and the fat will start melting off!
