IIFYM – If It Fits Your Macros What Is It and How Does it Work?

[YoHoJo]

I was eating 2200kcal a day for all of January and there was no change in body fat percentage
I don't give a fuck what you've done. I just said that you need a brutal deficit to get below 8% and that I needed less than 1500kcal a day.

If you don't like it then don't do it, fatty. See if I give a fuck
I didn't even recommend that amount, someone just asked me about it and I replied with my thoughts

is that actually 8% or just a guess?

 

[Johnnie Walker]

Its not really 8%, but is is, even tho it isnt..except it is

 

[YoHoJo]

that sounds about right

 

[jimmy]

..also wondering the same, did you get a dexa scan done (if not how else did you work out 8%)
-not having a go at you, just curious that is all as in the photos in the other thread I thought someone at 8% body fat would look a lot more ripped then you do.

I gave the exact measurements in my thread, yet AusBB as usual does it's spin doctor twist magic
I did not say that I was 8%. I said that I needed to diet harder to get under 8%.

I got my body fat professionally tested with callipers and posted the measurements up. It worked out at an average of 8.6% with 11-12% over the abdominals and around 6% on my arms. Again I posted this exactly and explained all this in detail and that the average of these measurements was 8.6%. That's why I don't have a full set of arms yet have arms more striated and vascular than a cock

I'd say you would be pretty close to 8 right now. I've been dexad at 6.3 and want too much leaner than you I'd say.

I personally would make up any extra fats as omega3 and not omega6
The fats are important for hormonal function (even hormonised)

But a handful of almonds is my "cheat meal" lol. I carry them in my pocket wherever I go. I just eat when I am actually hungry as I said before and this can happen at any time. So even if I am driving, the hunger can be absolutely terrible and there is no way I can prep food lol so I'll have a fistful of almonds and I will be good for another 6 hours

Looking quite a bit thinner and much more muscular. Ive stopped lifting for the last 2 weeks while adjusting to the new calories but back into it this week.

 

[0ni]

Nice
The pumps will be brutal BTW. I find the longer fasted the bigger the pump and more vascular I get

 

[Sydking]

weighed in at 92.4 kg last night.

Muay Thai class last night, Backed up with a 6am class this morning and back at it this arvo.

Energy is fine.

Really need to get back onto the weights but, its been 3 weeks off now..... i think ill add 2-300 cals on lifting days

Anyone following IIFYM?

I think it kind of ran its course and people realised eating clean gives better results. It can work, but you're going to be hungry most of the time with such calorie dense foods like poptarts.
