There's not much info out there on a IIFYM split that favours fat over carbs. I don't tolerate high carb well - fats are my jam - and I was wondering if anyone has had success losing weight on a split somewhere along the lines of 60% Fat 25% Protein 15% Carbs. Obviously a caloric deficit is also in place for losing weight.

    As long as you hit your calories, if that's what you tolerate it's fine

    Although make sure your protein is sufficient for your bodyweight at that percentage

    You can do anything you want utilizing the concept of IIFYM...IIFYM isn't a diet, it just means you're tracking your macro-nutrients as well as you calories...there is no one size fits all macro ratio...the "Y" in IIFYM is pretty important.

    YEP. I keep carbs at 45% because I need them for pain control (muscle disorder)--without enough carbs, I'm a sad sack of pain. LOL. But they don't keep me as full as fat and protein.
