What if you could eat hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream every week\u2014hell, maybe even every day\u2014and still have abs?\xa0

\xa0

Such is the rallying cry of many people who subscribe to the \u201cIf It Fits Your Macros\u201d (IIFYM) style of dieting.

Others claim the principles of IIFYM shouldn\u2019t be used to merely get and stay lean while eating like a spoiled child. Instead, they should be used to look and feel great while eating a wide variety of foods including those verboten by more traditional, restrictive forms of dieting.
