What up, everybody.

Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast.

I'm Tony.

And I'm Mariana.

And the fitness industry right now is just not what it could be.

It's become something built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation

directing attention away from everything that really matters.

The bottom line is we're not just trying to provide another fitness podcast, but completely change the fitness industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools to give you the confidence and applying best possible evidence-based training and nutrition into your own life. Where today we are talking about I-I-F-Y-M or if it fits your macros, which before we even say what it is, how have we not talked

about this?

I-I-F-Y-M or if it fits your macros is a dietary strategy that revolves around setting a specific

calorie, protein, carb, and fat goal, and then technically eating whatever foods you want

throughout the day as long as you're hitting those

targets to lose fat, build muscle, or maintain.

It's built on the most fundamental principles of the human metabolism and is scientifically

the most reliable way to lose weight, build muscle, and do everything we talked about.

It's almost too good to be true, or it can be. Today we're going to need

context to say for sure, because we're going to break down the science behind it, ranging from

the basics of what a macro even is, all the way up to a definitive guide to calculating the perfect

macro breakdown for fat loss for building lean muscle and everything in between, along with some

tips at the end to make it work.

But before we jump into it, y'all know how much we love you.

Y'all know it.
