    I am doing TDEE and I follow IIFYM - most of my meals are pretty much the same, and my cheat meals are usually more of structured refeeds...plus oreos :D

    What's the point of a cheat meal if you follow IIFYM? :huh:

    Am I missing the point or something?

    like I said, its sort of a structured refeed. I can't follow IIFYM completely or else I would be hangry :# all day. So in my own view of things I follow iifym - but in an 80/20 fashion. To each their own

    Me neither.

    IIFYM is as a 'diet' like periodization training is a workout routine .....to quote Dr Layne Norton

    Ya.. if you're getting hangry (hungry + angry??) whilst IIFYMing... then you're doing something wrong lol.

    The whole point of IIFYM is to prevent that. There is no 80/20 with IIFYM - it's 100% your diet... lol mfp logic right.

    I enjoy the notion of IIFIYM up to a point.
    It gives me flexibility to eat that twinkie smeared in jelly and wrapped with bacon.
    >:)
    Sometimes I just want to eat bad only to have something fabulous, junkie and - well, fabulous!
    What we don't escape is the reality that empty calories do not add to our health or wellness.
    If it fits in my macros, I am not harmed too much, but it is not really helping.
    There is a limit to how many twinkie wraps I can eat without my goals inhibited - even if it still fits in my macros.
    Nutritionally dense foods are better - yada yada yada - everybody knows this.
    My issue is without my occasional twinkie wrap, I'll crave junkie foods and eventually fail altogether.

    Then I guess I shouldn't categorize myself into the IIFYM lifestyle - I eat for volume, and I eat oreos and pizza when I want to.
    there are some that follow iifym and eat calorie dense items all day - peanut butter, cookies, ice cream, bacon
    and there are some that don't...am I missing something?

    Sorry for jacking your thread Caz :#

    Edit: Post is not meant to sound mean - I am very open to learning and clearing up any misconceptions :)

    I kinda follow iifym. But im about only 70% accurate as i eat out often and only weigh my food when i eat home and when my parents dont cook. Other than that, i just guesstimate. :)
