Following my last post on IIFYM, I thought I would share some of the macro contents of some basic and popular foods to help any of you further understand the concept or to help you get started...
200ml semi skimmed milk - Carb 9.6g, Protein 7.2g, Fat 3.6g
250ml Coke - Carb 27g, Protein 0g, Fat 0g
250ml diet coke - Carb 0g, Protein 0g, Fat 0g
100g chicken breast - Carb 0g, Protein 31g, Fat 3.6g

100g Haribo starmix - Carb 77g, Protein, 6.6g, Fat <0.5g
The actual macro content per consumption would obviously have to be altered to suit the chosen serving size, however, these values give a rough estimate of the contents of some popular foods.
Happy calculating!
