    What are you going on about pal? You're telling me I can get all my carbs from milk and I'd be ok? Let's not be silly here... We get that a calorie is a calorie, we're talking about the source of your macros. Not all macronutrients are made equal.

    Thing is, most people cutting aren't going to have room for donuts and pizza and shit like that once they've hit their macros, making the entire 'pop tarts and ice cream' mantra a moot point. Sure, if you've hit your macros and wind up with 50g carbs and some fat to spare, enjoy yourself. Have that donut or whatever. THAT'S what IIFYM is about - fulfilling your macros with healthy foods, hitting micronutrient and fiber goals (which is impossible to do with donuts, pop tarts, and ice cream), and then enjoying any surplus.

    Conversely, one could fulfill their protein requirement with shakes and then hit their fat/carb macros with junk food. Do you REALLY think they'll wind up with the same body composition (all else being equal) as the person eating a relatively healthy diet w/ some junk thrown in here and there? Gimme a break!!
