WHAT DOES IIFYM MEAN?

IIFYM (if it fits your macros) means you can eat ANYTHING you want as long as it fits into your daily calorie requirements and daily macronutrient split of protein, carbohydrates and fats. So basically what I'm saying is if you eat oats and brown rice compared to white bread and sugar donuts for you choice of carbohydratess it will have no difference at all on improving body composition. (as long as calorie intake is equal and macronutrient targets are met) Eating donuts won't automatically make you get fat. Gaining body fat is all about excess calories not the types of foods that you consume.

There is no such thins as "good" and "bad" foods, or "clean" and "dirty' foods" (unless you are talking about health wise). There is no list of foods your not allowed to eat to reach your body composition goals. Don't think you have to give up pizza or McDonald's just because you want to lose some weight. General body composition is about calorie and macronutrient control, hitting your macronutrient targets and calorie requirements however and whenever you want with ANY foods of your personal preference.

EXAMPLE:

500 calories, 40g protein, 40g carbohydrates and 20g fats derived from chicken breast, brown rice and olive oil.

Is equal to:

500 calories, 40g protein, 40g carbohydrates and 20g fats derived from a peperoni pizza!

Now lets say for example your daily macronutrient targets were:

Protein = 250g

Carbohydrates = 310g

Fats = 85g

And you hit these numbers through eating pizza, ice cream, mayonnaise and drinking coke. That's perfectly fine, it doesn't matter and won't make any difference on body composition.

BUT DONT GET TOO CARIED AWAY LOL

Now I'm not saying that you should go out right now and slam back 2 whole pizzas and a can of coke just because it fits your daily macros. You should still base your diet around good healthy nutritious foods! (like I always do!) however if you want to eat that cream donut or double scoop ice cream because you have been "craving it" and it fits your daily macros, then you can eat that donut or double scoop ice cream and it won't effect your body composition at all. Food choices are irrelevant! - Meeting your daily macros and calorie requirements is what equals results!

IIFYM is not a diet, it's not a lifestyle - Its just a philosophy thats intended to make your life easier.

IIFYM does not mean you can eat however much of whatever you want. It means you can maintain your sanity by eating like a regular human being from time to time. Just use common sense and keep it all in moderation, you should always base your diet mostly around good healthy nutritious foods (which the IIFYM principle still applies to). This will help you get in your micronutrients such as fiber, omega's vitamins and minerals!

Hvad tænker i? Hvad synes i?

Syntes det lyder meget fornuftigt.

Det første jeg tænkte da jeg læste tråden var "det er da en fed løgn".

Er der virkelig ikke en næringsmæssig forskel på ris og donuts?

Hvad med "tomme" kalorier?

Er det kun set ud fra om man taber eller gainer fedt?

Hvad med aminosyrer? protein er jo ik bare protein.

I mine ører lyder det altså ret langt ude, men måske har jeg bare misforstået noget ?

Det lyder nu meget fornuftigt, i et vis omfang. Jeg har trænet i ca. 2,5 år og har fået glimrende resultater af bare at spise mere, og bedre. Usunde ting er helt sikkert stadig en del af det jeg spiser. Ikke noget fast, men hvis jeg vil have en hotdog, køber jeg en. Mad er jo stadig bare mad, og der er macros i alle de ting vi spiser, at de usunde ting så har en mere negativ fordeling, må vi jo bare leve med.

Det skal selvfølgelig lige siges, at det ikke er en ny "filosofi" der kommer fra mig

hvor stammer indlægget fra?

Det er en utroligt proteinholdig pepperoni pizza forfatteren her har fået fat i.

Pointen er selvfølgelig god nok et stykke hen ad vejen. At spise clean har bare uhyggeligt mange fordele, som han ikke tager højde for. Fx:

- Forøget mæthedsfornemmelse for færre kalorier
- Højere indtag af vitaminer og mineraler
- Bedre aminosyreprofil i komplekse proteiner = teoretisk bedre gains
- Fravær af overflødige, hurtige kulhydrater og mættet fedt
- Lavere saltindtag
- Færre blodsukkerudsving, og dermed mindre risiko for at udvikle fx diabetes
- Etc.

Det er i øvrigt lidt fjollet at poste en "artikel" uden i det mindste at nævne forfatteren.

Korrekt, jeg skulle have nævnet forfatteren.
Jeg ved ikke hvem den originale forfatter er, men det er Josef Rakich fra bb.com der har postet det. Om det er ham der kommet op med det, skal jeg ikke kunne sige.

Når man bulker er IIFYM selvfølgelig helt godt. Kødindtaget kan jo dækkes med et kvart kilo, og ½ kg frugt og/eller grønt fylder jo heller ikke meget - også er de sidste 2000-4000 kcal blot "energi-fyld".

Præcis. Om man får sine carbs fra hvide ris eller burgere betyder ikke det helt store i det lange løb.

Når man surfer på bb.com er IIFYM meget udbredt
