I weigh 278 lbs. right now. I don't pay much attention to the calories I consume, but I do consume way less than maintenance levels. I cant afford(financially) to focus too hard on nutrition other than calories, but I want to start trying bulk on an intense deficit. Is it possible to do so on a large deficit? Right now, as far as priorities have it, weight loss > muscle mass, but I would like to be able to fill out a bit to avoid too much loose skin in the coming months.
Or should I save noob gains for when I can really focus and put on some serious weight later on?

You 100% can..... Ive been lifting heavy making significant gains while on a deficit. As long as your protein intake is good you can, however to lose drastic weight in a small amount of time sure its one or the other.
Dude in your case I would go on a deficit. At the end of the day your Diet is the most important aspect to losing weight. Thing is a deficit while eating badly won't net the same result as a deficit while eating healthy. You get more energy from good foods and it will help you sustain your deficit for a prolonged period of time. IDC what anyone says you can't eat 2 slices of cheesecake and as long as your under your maintenance drop fat...Progress: Getting it back.

I try to eat as healthy as possible. Lean meats, etc., but I'm 18 y/o college student living at home with parents and it is hard to pay attention to dinner calories/macros because I eat what they make for dinner and don't have the money to do otherwise. So far, the eating change has worked well for me and I am enjoying the food I eat now. I have been on a high deficit(1k+) for a while now and I don't get easily fatigued so I don't think I am starving myself, but it is definitely effective when it comes to losing weight. Basically, I'm not sure it's even worth paying attention to macros yet at my weight, or until the fat is harder to eliminate.
Based on calculations, I think my maintenance levels are exaggerated, due to the fact that I don't have much lean mass to my body.

Coming from the guy who said you can't gain lean muscle mass and lose fat at the same time.....
If you can tell me that eating a bunch of fast digesting carbs is better for losing weight rather than eating protein, w/ moderated slow carb intake then w.e.
OP Honestly do whatever works for you. I did mine through college I feel you. Good luck brotha!Last edited by QuotedFive; 04-05-2012 at 07:09 PM.

Temptation used to get me, but I've changed. I've never been so determined to do anything in my life before, and I am serious about this. Its time to change my life... knowing that I can be somewhat fit before the age of 20 just makes me want to do it more than most people can imagine. 18 lbs and going harder than ever.
