Why would you eat LESS than BMR, you need that to live and isn't sustainable long term. I think you have BMR confused with TDEE.

Brehs - we get it. IIFYM - but not everybody has the time for that ish. The IIFYM approach works but it involves heavy restriction on how much you can eat.

A lot of people don't want that approach. It's fairly long. It's my approach but not everybody wants to calculate what else to eat if they have this Kirspy Kreme donut and french fries.

Some would rather be told.. okay you can eat these here protein sources, these here vegetables, this here dressing, these here nuts ONLY. But, in exchange - you can pretty much eat them to your hearts content. This is what you can eat but you can have as much as you like. These types of approaches give people the freedom to eat as much as they want more or less. To them it might be more flexible than the IIFYM approach. Let them live brehs.

I tell people all the time - there's multiple ways to get to the destination. High fat. High protein. A bit of everything. The best method is the method that works for you. Some people enjoy the freedom of a tight brief.

That oversimplifies IIFYM a little

True, hence why I said it works for me not saying its gospel.

Maybe cos I am used to it I find it easy and wonder how can you not do it, just eat less than your TDEE.

How? You have individual fats, carb & protein quotas you can fill any way you like. Some have more loose IIFYM approaches where overall calories matters more than exact macronutrient breakdown.

Do you know how extra it sounds to have a diet broken down by exact macro-nutrient information? It's a you can have all of this.. but only so much time to do it in approach. Other diets are the inverse, you can only do A to G... but you can do go buckwild and stay for as long as you like.

IMO the reason why IIFYM goes so well with bodybuilding types - is because we are already checking the back of everything we buy. And we are training and have goals, 365 days. Therefore we have some type of diet in place at all times. We live comfortably with limiting how much we eat.. but sometimes we just want a cookie. IIFYM is perfect for that.

Other folks just want to drop 10lb. And want to follow simple principles for 4 weeks. Maybe going through 2 or 3 periods of that diet during a year and otherwise eating like everybody else.

LOL How you mention IIFYM and the word Restriction in the same sentence? "Wanting to be told what to eat" is restrictive dieting, IIFYM is not. IIFYM is the literal definition of being Flexible, how can you be flexible if someone is telling you specifically what to eat? All this Keto, Clean Eating, blah blah blah is restrictive eating.
