HI all. Well, I'm 5.9 and weight about 170 lbs. I'm trying to be more lean and cut, so I need help. I've been cutting down on the carbs. Is it a good thing to have low carb and more proteins a day and still gain muscles and not lose them?
If you have low carb (less energy), your body will start using the proteins from the muscles or does it use the bodyfat?
Morning: White eggs and 2 toasted white bread
Lunch: 2 chicken breasts and corn
Afternoon: Oatmeal and white eggs
After workout: Salmon and vegetables
Before bed: 40 grams weigh protein shake.
One question I really want to ask is:
What does your body do when you don't have enough calories after a workout to fix muscles?
Does it use the stored fat?
