The last time I did it, I calculated IIFYM at a 25% deficit and I also calculated macros based on the LeanGains calculator. I did some kind of hybrid based on those two, and remember doing 2 higher deficit days to 1 higher calorie day (as a refeed of sorts). I worked out 3 times per week, and did 30 minutes of moderate cardio twice per week. That was it, and 4 months later hit my goal. I had to reduced calories and adjust macros after 6 weeks or so.
Thanks! I'll definitely use a similar approach when I try IIFYM again. If I don't try it to finish my cut, I'll definitely try it when I'm lean bulking.
