Moving onto the next step, calorifically

[x_rated_mo]

I got great results doing 6 week program, but its time for a new path to take--a nice bulk.

goal for this month, is to burn fat and build muscle-but these 2 aspects seem to contradict themselves.
I mean, if an additional 500 calories are required to build muscle, how do I decrease the ? (knowing that u need 500 calories less to lose fat) I know its possible.
I'm thinking of having a powder low in fats/sugars regularly, and whey directly after a workout 3 times a week.. will this be enough for burning fat and building lean muscle, while consuming high protien products like chicken breast, liver, meat and tuna?
Or Should I do the one week cut then one week bulk etc. program?

And for running and HIIT. I would like to do them atleasstt twice a week, they wont interfere with bulk, will they?

THANKS EVERYONE!!

you can do it but it will take longer and you'll probably become impatient with it...do program in the other thread i put on there before as prescribed with cardio...food is where it's at

you want 40% of yuor carbs for breaky, 40% for the meal straight after training and then the remaining 20% from fruit, veg and salad with all other meals...so if you like pasta, rice , bread etc than you can only have it straight after training...simple as that...

Have you tried eating a large amount of protein 30-45 minutes after your work out? It's the best time to get it into your body to rebuild muscle. Also are you drinking or eating any health products or sports nutrition products?

yeah, i go by 1.2-1.5g of protien a day, and i consume the main protien source for dinner, about an hour or two after i take a whey shake directly after working out on mondays wednesdays and fridays .. i also take whey on the mornings of those days, and once at night on teus thurs and sun, and i take 50g of muscle juice on saturday evening..

i dont really focus on getting THAT much protien before workout, as the ones that i eat after workout supply me with enough protien for the next day

Smart man! I have been drinking or eating protein via Myoplex Lite (I work for EAS) right after a workout and find I am getting pretty lean. I find it tastes good and is easy to carry. I hike a lot and am less a gym person. That and I am frighteningly active so I need to be able take what ever I have on the go. I don't spend enough time at home

You can change your body composition by changing your diet and exercise, but consider both when making the changes. If you increase your training routine, then yes, you must increase your energy intake to support your work. Make sure you eat enough so as not to put yourself in a calorie deficit, lower your metabolic rate, and increase fat storage due to muscle breakdown. It's best to maintain your energy throughout the day rather than try to make up for a calorie deficit at the end of the day.
Protein in itself will not build muscle or burn fat, the resistance exercise will.

True...hard to do when you work full time though...don't you agree??
