    I listen to this guy...........




    "DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA




    Now I'm not saying that you should go out right now and slam back 2 whole pizzas and a can of coke just because it fits your daily macros. You should still base your diet around good healthy nutritious foods! (like I always do!) however if you want to eat that cream donut or double scoop ice cream because you have been "craving it" and it fits your daily macros, then you can eat that donut or double scoop ice cream and it won't effect your body composition at all. Food choices are irrelevant! - Meeting your daily macros and calorie requirements is what equals results!

    IIFYM is not a diet, it's not a lifestyle - Its just a philosophy thats intended to make your life easier.

    IIFYM does not mean you can eat however much of whatever you want. It means you can maintain your sanity by eating like a regular human being from time to time. Just use common sense and keep it all in moderation, you should always base your diet mostly around good healthy nutritious foods (which the IIFYM principle still applies to). This will help you get in your micronutrients such as fiber, omega's vitamins and minerals!

    CONCLUSION




    Meal frequency and nutrient timing is irrelevant for improving body composition, just hit your daily macronutrient targets and calorie requirements for the day, however and whenever."

    And now I have to go take a walk to make up for that potluck lunch I had today. I was tired when I got home from being awakened too early this morning, but now I've caught up on sleep (a rare thing for a mom of 3!), so I'm going to take the kids for a walk. Between carrying one and pushing another of the two in the stroller, it should be fun!

    I hope you enjoyed your walk. It was great exercise for me when my kids were in stollers. I got a double stroller for $35 dollars that I only used for walks and I would take them to the park, but they thought it was a very long walk to get there because I would walk up all the hills, pushing the heavy stroller. And I would do it again on the way home from the park. It was great for my glutes and my whole body really. Carrying your baby is good too.

    I did enjoy the walk. My husband came too, and he ended up pushing the stroller, but we had a nice walk. I went again today, walked almost the same distance, but faster, on my own, before breakfast. It was great! I don't get to walk as much as I like, living in Oregon, but when I can, I go!
