    Can you link me to your blog?

    It says the same thing as in my original post in this thread. Just copied into the forum was all but here is the link:

    For weight loss that is a workable plan. Whether it's a good plan for "fitness" (i.e. weight loss and health) would depend on what you eat. A shapely outside is very nice to have, but it will last a lot longer if the inside is also in good shape.

    No one is saying to tip back a bottle of McDonald's french fry oil. =)

    No. But it did say "EAT THAT SH*%! " I'm just suggesting that it would be better if you ate good food instead of SH*%, while still staying in your macros, of course. :flowerforyou:

    80-20 rule. If you're eating 2000 calories of nutrient dense, healthy food to get to your macros, the other 500 cals (20%) aren't going to have a huge negative effect.

    In other news, I wish I could eat 2500 calories a day and lose weight... :-)

    Started cutting yesterday. Pancakes and icecream for dinner :tongue: Yes I also ate plenty of fruit and veg during the day to make sure I got the required micronutrients :smile:

    This dude did a crazy IIFYM diet for experimenting. Nothing but KFC & cereal (and almonds and whey to make up macros). See post 130 for results and 140 for blood tests.

    Crazy **** :P (He should get paid by KFC I reckon!)

    Awesome IIFYM (leangains also) log here. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=135766901&p=752479303&viewfull=1#post752479303

    Hi Joe...I realize this is a really old post but I've been researching iifym for a bit now and I not sure exactly how to begin. I'm wondering if you could help me figure out my daily calorie needs etc? It seems like something that may work for me or is it quite labor intensive?
