Is what he does considered clean bulking? im looking for a diet that is simple enough to go by considering if i need anything i have to buy it from the grocery store and make it, also i have school so it puts a dent in my day any suggestions?

1000-1500 calories is VERY low... especially if you aren't on something to help preserve muscle mass. reaching single digit BF% is going to be tough as your body will canabolize muscle during this "cut" making the weight lost part fat/part muscle. so you may lose 10lbs but it might only be 1% or 2% BF. keep this up and all that fatburning-muscle mass you'd like to keep will wither away making it even harder to lose fat... if you aren't careful you very well could end up just a smaller, softer version of your current self without dropping your BF% much at all

True dat SDF, also u might want to up ur protein intake, and take some creatine or something, it will help u, not a whole lot, but every little bit counts.

I agrre too. You need to add another 1500 to the calories if you are attempting to bulk up, or even preserve muscle mass for that matter. You weren't clear on that.

He is trying to loose weight, I cant believe people who live in this century dont understand the difference between fat loss and weight loss.

oops...double post for the lose =[

Well, Currently I'm trying to get a minimum of 200 grams of protein a day. Since this post I have had a couple of days to really keep track of my calorie intake per day. Over a 3 day period, I have been eating an average of 2150 calories. I was just too hungry being down around 1250 calories. I have felt much better the last 3 days and have had some really good workouts as well.

My question to you is this, is 2000-2500 calories with 175 grams of protein enough to preserve muscle mass? Enough to grow in lean muscle mass? Will the fat loss actually increase? Again, I weigh around 225lbs at the moment.

Am I taking my suppliments correctly?

(ON 100% Whey)
50- grams in the morning
50- grams 30 mins before workout
50- grams right after workout

(L-Glutamine)
1- with every protein shake

(Creatine)
5- grams in pre workout shake
5- grams in post workout shake

(Multi-Vitamin)
1- in morning
1- in early evening (8pm or so)

(Hydroxycut)
2- 30 mins before meals 3 times a day

I have also added extra vitamin c which I take with multi-vitamin.

Thanks again for the input so far. Just the kind of help I'm looking for.

I am a proponent of using 1 gram or more of protein per lean body mass. 175 should be enough if u have about 25% BF.

If you're trying to loose weight, I suggest when your whey runs out to get some whey isolate.

I was never really able to tell the difference when ever I used concentrate or Isolate. I guess only big guys like u can tell the difference.
