But SH#T food tastes far better than good food..imo :drinker:0

For weight loss that is a workable plan. Whether it's a good plan for "fitness" (i.e. weight loss and health) would depend on what you eat. A shapely outside is very nice to have, but it will last a lot longer if the inside is also in good shape.
No one is saying to tip back a bottle of McDonald's french fry oil.
No. But it did say "EAT THAT SH*%! " I'm just suggesting that it would be better if you ate good food instead of SH*%, while still staying in your macros, of course. :flowerforyou:
Please define "good food" please....body composition improvements improve health indicators way more than "good foods" without body composition changes. In short, imrprove body composition, improve body health indicators.

Um, good food = food that contains nutritients, not too many bad carbs or fat. Just because body composition may be healthier, doesn't make junk food "good". You probably know that as well.0 -
Cool! I've been doing this already. Does that make me some kind of idiot savant?0

All foods contain nutrients Bcatt. Also please define what "bad carbs" are? Oh and what "bad fat" is?0 -
I picture people reading this with a big "WTF?!" cloud above their heads.
:huh: You can see me? :laugh:Your post makes the assumption that I have been able to figure out my macro and micronutriet requirements. Big assumption. Once I get there, I'll keep the rest in mind. And then I'll pick up some Cherry Garcia.
^ My thoughts exactly. I will be google searching like mad for the rest of my work day. Intersting theory though, and worth experimenting with.No one is saying to tip back a bottle of McDonald's french fry oil.
D*mn- never mind. Screw the IIFYM diet if I can't down a bottle of french fry oil every night!0 -

80-20 rule. If you're eating 2000 calories of nutrient dense, healthy food to get to your macros, the other 500 cals (20%) aren't going to have a huge negative effect.
In other news, I wish I could eat 2500 calories a day and lose weight... :-)0 -

This dude did a crazy IIFYM diet for experimenting. Nothing but KFC & cereal (and almonds and whey to make up macros). See post 130 for results and 140 for blood tests.
Crazy **** :P (He should get paid by KFC I reckon!)

Hi Joe...I realize this is a really old post but I've been researching iifym for a bit now and I not sure exactly how to begin. I'm wondering if you could help me figure out my daily calorie needs etc? It seems like something that may work for me or is it quite labor intensive?0
