Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

How enticing does the IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) approach sound to you? Well, sorry to break the news, but I am not a Macro Coach that you will find endorsing this method. And in this episode, I am going to tell you exactly why. 

I’ll dive into why the foods that we eat really matter, including the benefits of micronutrients in whole foods and their higher thermic effect on the body. I’ll also share my 80/20 approach to accommodate all of this, which allows you to incorporate the foods that you love in a balanced way that will support your goals and overall health. 

Let this episode guide you to a more balanced approach, not just macro eating but also a nutritional approach. And you can still enjoy the foods you love!

Topics covered on IIFYM:

• How to enjoy food while traveling and maintain progress while on vacation
• The impact of micronutrient deficiencies on health and energy levels
• Understanding the thermic effect of food and how it affects metabolism and calorie burning
• Focusing on an 80/20 mindset and how to incorporate this strategy with your food and in your day and week
• How to know if protein powders, bars and shakes and greek yogurts fall into the 80 percent or 20 percent category
