    Question low carb reduced calorie diet(really reduced)

    my question is......if im consuming 2000 calories plus or minus....and my protien intake is around 345g+ and my carb intake is under 100 grams a day...is this hurting me or helping me...if my body is getting the right amounts of protien will it still eat up my muscle or will it burn the fat...im 6'1 251lbs.....but even though my calorie intake is so low i still feel fine through out the day...... im trying to loose bodyfat (obviously)......i dont want to consume a lot of carbs cause i am an endomorph body type and i dont want to give myself anything else to store as fat.....but if i need to up my carb intake some i will......i also plan on haveing a higher carb day to keep my body from adjusting.....just let me know whats up.....its really hard for me to lose bf so im taking it to extremes......i also added a tren test stack along with some clen ..it has worked wounders for me in the past and im sure it will do the same again......also the other reason im asking is because tren help feed efficancy thats why it is good on a low cal diet....if you want to check out what im eating go look at the memeber pic forum and you will see me and what i eat down to the T.....its a 3 food 3 liquid diet....im just looking for something to tweak my diet a bit.....im not asking for critism on using AS. but if you feel you need to then be my guest...it aint gonna b other me any....thanx guys

    its the test cyp and fina thread

    simply put bro keep ur protein hi take in about 150 low gi carbs a day 10-20g efa's a day. now if ur losing more then 2lbs a week you could possibly be tapping into ur muscle so try to keep it about 2lbs a week. so if u do lose more then 2lbs a week up ur carbs to 200.

    I hate doing math but I think your macros should be this.

    320pro 160carb 70fat 2550cals.

    50/25/25

    If you don't lose any then up the cardio. If you lose more than 2lbs week then up carbs.

    Thats assuming you are 250 with 15%bf

    you only need 1.5g of protein per [B]lean[B]pound, so if you are 100 lbs and got 10% bf you only need around 135g of protein give or take some a day, not much.. i tried the diet you ar eon, high protein low carb moderate fat, wasn't good, felt awful, no energy, i know eat around180g carbs a day low gi, and i am trying to cut down, and i have seen no loss in progress and a lot more energy, carbohydrates are good!

    I used to feel like that but since I got my fats in order I feel great heres my diet

    Meal 1:
    25g whey protein
    24g protein liquid eggwhites
    7g fat flax oil
    7g fat coconut oil
    1 serving broccoli

    Meal 2:
    8oz chicken breast
    1 serving broccoli

    Meal 3:
    8oz chicken breast
    1 serving broccoli
    7g fat flax (teaspoon

    Meal 4:
    Same as meal 2

    Meal 5: PWO
    50g whey protein
    7g fat flax

    Meal 6:
    8oz chicken breast
    1 serving asparagus
    2 servings natty PB...

    Not lacking energy not hungry just feeling great...

    well this is my super low carb day anyway...

    Oh and for the op bigmac... the fats in my diet for a reason.... you need it especially at your body weight.... I also eat 2 servings of natty PB throughout the night when I get hungry I noticed a few things when adding the fat... I felt less drained... I kept losing fat and seemed to put on a little muscle at the same time... but I carb cycle so this is my super low carb day as I said My macros fall right around:

    350g protein
    30g carbs
    120g fat

    and on my carb up day they hit:

    325g protein
    350g carbs
    80g fat....
