Too much fat in my diet
ive recently started IIFYM (if it fits your macros) but whilst I'm able to hit carbs and protein most days I'm always over on fat by at least half my allowance, I don't feel like I want to lessen my carbs/protein to allow for this extra fat as I feel these allowances work for me
