I rarely see diets on preps based on IF-style.
Most diets I see in prep-logs/bb diets are the 5-8 meal approach.
What do you think about it?

I think its fine it that's what fits your life style. In my opinion its not optimal as getting 1-2 large doses of protein a day will not give you the same effect as 4 or 5 with regards to protein synthesis. What effect this has on overall body composition or performance may be very slight but I personally like eating throughout the day. Having said that I have a friend who eats twice a day, 12 hours apart then lifts crazy weight drug free. I believe its what fits your life most importantly.

I am not a fan for reasons stated above....but the best way to find out is to try it and see how it works for you. I just do not believe it is optimal for the average hard training athlete, but do see how it may better fit into someone's lifestyle.
