    lose muscle while cutting hard

    is 350mg of test weekly enough to preserve muscle on a 900kcal diet only protein?

    strengh loss mean muscle loss? keep strenght mean keep muscle as well?

    No fat? No carbs? Only 900 cals per da?

    If your a medium sized cat you should be ok.

    Not sure how much you weigh, but 900 cals a day I would suggest your strength will drop substantially after a short time.

    Id rather cut slowly than loose muscle, muscle tissue is harder to gain so it would be a shame loosing it to then have to re gain it.
    You will lose muscle on that diet everyday.

    Try carb cycling or something and take your time cutting

    You will lose strength

    You will lose muscle

    You will struggle with energy

    Do you know why you NEED fat in your diet?

    I wouldn't consider that a hard cut. It's more like a self destructive initiative for anything you've ever worked for.

    Anabolism and catabolism at the biological level isn't that straight forward.

    You can't grow one day then proceed to be catabolic the next.

    To put it simply, you will suffer some great loss in LBM and workload potential.
