IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros)
A flexible dieting approach focused on hitting macro targets regardless of food sources.
IIFYM is a flexible dieting approach where you can eat any foods as long as you hit your daily macro targets. It emphasizes that body composition is primarily determined by total macros, not specific food choices. While allowing flexibility, it should not be used to justify a diet of only junk food, as micronutrients matter for health.
Examples
- Hitting 180g protein from any sources
- Fitting treats into daily macros
- Flexibility while maintaining targets
