Plan of Attack

So...How do I plan to get all this weight off? Let me explain.

Has anyone heard of this IIFYM stuff?

Sure..but what the hell does it mean?

There's so many posts and articles and tips...not going to lie, I'm overwhelmed. But clearly it works..my fave blogger (Skinnymeg) is becoming the incredible shrinking women...therefore I must do this!

So here's what I've done:

1. Calculate your macros HERE. The macros you are most concerned about are your fats, proteins, carbs, and fiber. Here are some super helpful instructions I've found:

1. Enter your stats.

2. Choose Athletes formula UNLESS you've had your body fat professionally tested. Calipers don't count.

3. Choose your exercise level. Only count lifting. If you're a distance runner, only count your "long runs." If you're running a lot during the week I would count how many days you run and then divide by 2, count that many days as your exercise days. (Example: You run 4 days a week, I would count 2 days of exercise to put in the calculator.) This is my personal opinion!

4. Pick your weight loss goal. Choose Suggested... If you plateau, you can lower cals, but to start you want to eat as much as possible while still losing!

5. Enter in your values. Women should never go below .35g per lb bodyweight of fat! Protein shouldn't go below .8g per lb or bodyweight UNLESS you have 50lbs or more to lose, then you would use .7.

6. Click Calculate.

That said...Here are my macros:

Calories: 1984

Carbs: 170

Protein 153

Fat 77

Fiber 44-55

Basically...you look at the package and see how many grams one serving is, you measure it, then you put in in myfitnesspal, then you eat. That's it. Surely this can't be that hard?!

Now...let's get to work!
