My diet so far has been good old fashioned calorie counting, targeting a specific mix of macros.
Targets: 1800 calories per day >= 30g fibre per day 50% carbs - 225g carb 25% prot - 112.5g protein 25% fat - 50g fat Doing well so far, losing 1.4lb/week.
I just did some reading about IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) and since that's basically what I've been doing, I decided to try out the calculator on iifym.com. Guessing that my body fat % is 35% (which is probably too low), I got these new targets:
NEW Targets (after a bit of rounding): 1600 calories per day >30g fibre 43% carb - 172g carbs 30% prot - 120g protein 27% fat - 48g fat
