This might be a ridiculous question...but can I eat less calories overall, but siginifcally increase my protein intake to 1.5x my current bodyweight to increase muscle while losing fat?.
Thanks

Assuming when you say "less calories", you mean under maintenance...that's not the ideal way to do it. Muscle gains, if any, would be few and far between. Not taking into account possible newbie gains if you are new to training.Originally Posted by jax80Age:22-Height: 6'5"-Weight: 230- Bulking - Bf%:no idea

Yes, under my maintenance level.
Essentially...I weight about 145lbs and am 5' 7" ....I have a small gut that I would like to get rid of...but obviously workout and building muscle.
My overal frame looks really small...which I want to build and cut..
If I begin taking 3 protein shakes of about 50gm of whey protein and 230 calories each day....do I need to worry about that extra 700 calories just turning into fat.
Obviously I plan to workout..4 days a week....
When should I incorporate cardio (elliptical machine..cant run, I have made knee) ?
Any advise please.
Thanks,
Amish

but 18-20 times your bodyweight for bulking calories, of course you have to eat more to compensate for cardio/weights...B|m|B

even if you eat 3X your bodyweight of protein you still won't build muscle while cutting.
doesn't watch t.v.
