so you wont be losing just fat, but more muscle then fat.

Bob's right, it depends on the deficit.

That's why you get these bro's cutting to 1500 cals at 6' and don't understand why they stall.


You post over at ******* Bob? I live in the Nutrition section, although it's changed quite a bit in the past 8 months.

I live in the misc lol. The nutrition section can be a headache sometimes. Here's a dude who lost 27 pounds eating twinkies, doritos, etc.

very interesting article, I wish they listed how much fat he lost and how much muscle he lost.
edit: if the info in the article is right he went from 67lbs of fat to 43lbs of fat and 134 lean lb mass to 131 lean lb mass.
lol

i am not sure if you are disagreeing in what i say.
you say no, then what you state seems to agree (like the length and quality of the cut)

there are a lot of variables when losing weigh which impacts how much muscle versus fat will be lost.

He maintained the same level of moderate physical activity as before going on the diet.

Well you said you can lose more muscle than fat on a cut, but I'm not sure thats possible. If you do even a mediocre cut, you won't lose more lean body mass than fat.
