Every once in awhile, due to time and ****, I get a little hungry (for only a little while till I eat again which is usually soon) and my stomach may growl. I'm sooooo worried that every time this happens my muscles are getting smaller. Is this the case? Can someone explain?
I think when you get hungry your body just uses protein as energy instead of using that protein to help build muscle. Is this more rational?

A guy at GNC told me that everytime you are hungry or thirsty your muscles are somewhat shrinking. Now I am not sure but it seems logical.

I wouldnt worry too much about it. Too many people are worried about being catabolic. If it only happens once and a while you will be fine..........................TRUST ME

That gnc guy is a retard
If you're hungry for a little time, nothing will happen. Relax man being hungry does not equal losing muscle since the body will be using carbs/fat/protein for energy
sometimes I wake up and dont have time to eat because I have to go to school this mean I had not eaten from 11pm from something like 11am the next morning- I didnt lose any mass (try to reduce your physical activities during this time)
And yeah, being hungry SUXI rape back.
If you were half as good as me you'd be close to perfection.

Feeling a bit hungry sometimes is an unfortunate evil when you're cutting. Hang in there though ... it's only for a little while ... throw in a big pig out meal once a week or so too to keep your metabolism sharp and help you hang in there
If you're not cutting, being hugry = time to eat. No doubt about it. No your muscles aren't going to shrink being hungry for a little while, but you're not helping them get bigger by doing this either. I would advise always use feeling hungry as the the warning shot to eat something, the same goes for thirst. You shouldn't ever be thirsty. Ideally drink as much water through out the day as you can. Add a few glasses of juice, milk and maybe something else in there with all that water and if you're maintaining your fluids and drinking properly there's no room to be thirsty for any real length of time.
