Over my journey of losing 60 pounds I think I tried every different diet a nutrition life style.. I finally settled in and felt the most energy, comfort, and was able to sustain by doing IIFYM. I eat pretty “healthy” but living this lifestyle it’s not the easiest to always have perfect foods on hand. I know what calories I need to keep my body moving how I want and weight where I’m comfortable. Just trying to hit calorie and macro targets makes it a lot easier to grab a burger or gas station snack and still be on track nutritionally. Everyone who sees me in the morning thinks I’m a healthy eater but the customer who has me during dinner time things I’m a huge pig when a pizza or McDonald’s shows up. Haha
80% good and 20% bad is what I shoot for to get my calories in (usually 3000ish a day) I also Do some training and help people with nutrition in my free time so it’s good to read what others in the same industry as me do with their diets!
