What are peoples take on the whole IIFYM way of eating that seems to be popular on bb.com, where basically you can eat whatever you want as long as you hit a certain amount of Protein, fats, and carbs every day (varying on your specific needs). Meal timing does not matter and as long as you stay within a certain amount of calories every day, you'll gain no more extra fat (or lose just as much fat if your cutting) compared to someone who eats super clean foods but eats the same amount of calories.
It doesnt try to justify eating like shit, but basically its saying you could eat mcdonalds and eat a pint of ben and jerrys everyday if it falls within your calorie limit and you hit your macro goals for the day, and you'll look just as good as the guy whos eating chicken and tuna and veggies etc. (obviously you wouldnt be as healthy internally eating like that).
Bullshit? In theory it makes sense, but it goes against so many things people seem to think is a must, such as eating right after a workout, or not eating carbs at night.
