Fiber would be a problem because you'd be getting more fast releasing carbs lacking fiber, opposed to complex carbs with fiber (ex. brown rice)
By the way I don't want anyone to think IIFYM'ers only eat crap. We eat MOSTLY bro foods, or what society thinks of when they think healthy.
Ex
Proteins
Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Pork
Carbs
WW bread, rice, grains, oatmeal
Fats
Olive oil, fatty fish, nuts
My point I want to get across is yes eat the foods you love, there should be no food groups off limit. Eat at a 70/30 or 80/20 clean/foods you would put off limit. You can do this every day as long as your fiber is in check for digestive reasons....
Conclusion
Get to your protein minimums (1g per pound)
Get to your Fat minimums
Get to your fiber minimums
fill your calories with whatever you want and you can still lose weight. Some people may say they don't feel as good when they eat "bad" foods to fill their calories. Most of this is mental I believe, because society told you this is a no no to NEVER eat cake you can't possibly lose weight if you eat cake....thus you "feel fat"

This is why I am surprised at your statement, the diet you're describing and the way of eating is pretty much what has been repeated over and over again here. The only thing worded differently is the fiber, if following along you will notice that calorie tapering utilizes, whole grains and fiberous vegetables and only fiberous vegeatables later in the day, both insuring adequate fiber intake and the benefits of not eating excessive carbs before sleep.
