IIFYM
If it fits your macros, often known as IIFYM, is a popular way of managing your diet regarding strength training and muscle development. Tracking and adjusting your macronutrient consumption to achieve your fitness goals is the intention of this technique.
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats make up what are known as macronutrients, or macros for short. These are the three primary nutrients that should make up most of what you eat daily. With IIFYM, you have the freedom to select the meals you want while continuing to progress toward your fitness goals. You focus on hitting macronutrient targets instead of following rigid meal planning or restricted diets.
Before determining your macronutrients, you need to determine your calorie needs. For this, you can use the Alpha Progression calorie calculator.
Determine your unique macronutrient needs before beginning IIFYM by considering your weight, body composition, amount of exercise, and goals. Those targets can change depending on whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or maintain your current physique.
You can arrange your meals by your macronutrient targets once you have them. According to IIFYM, various foods can be included in your diet if you keep within your macronutrient targets. You can still indulge in your favorite foods or enjoy the occasional treat as long as they adhere to the recommended macronutrient ratios.
Because IIFYM provides customization and flexibility in your nutrition plan, it benefits people who enjoy strength training. You can regulate your fat intake for overall health and hormone management, optimize your protein intake for muscle repair and synthesis, and adjust your carbohydrate intake for energy levels by tracking your macronutrient intake.
Using a nutrition app to track your nutrition might be helpful in tracking your macros and ensuring you're hitting your nutrition goals easier.
To achieve your fitness goals, remember that training is also essential. Use the Alpha Progression app to advance your strength training. Track your workouts, optimize your training, and monitor your progress to reach your fitness goals.
