Counting macronutrients is one of the most common ways to help people reach their weight loss goals. Although you might be somewhat familiar with it, chances are you may not be aware of exactly how counting macros actually works.
“If it fits your macros” or IIFYM is a common phrase to describe how people can use sustainability in their diets as a way to lose weight while still eating their favorite foods. Rather than focusing on whether or not a food is “healthy,” counting macros involves fitting all types of food into your diet while still losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
