Can I grow on and losse fat on this Diet???

[sungod21]

I was advised by a trainer to change my diet to 20% Carbs, 60% Protien and 20% Fat while taking 250 mg of Injectable L-Carnitine. He also mention to load up on creatine and L-Glutamine. I'm 6'1", 200 lbs and 15.5 to 17% BF. I'd like to put on a little more mass. Should go on a 4-5 week prohormone cycle with a 55% Carbs, 35% Protien and 10% Fat and then change my diet ration with the Carnitine? Or should I cycle on the prohormones and the injectable L-Carnitine while on the 20-60-20 diet all together?

Thanks.

I tend to use a 40/40/20 p/c/f split, I don't like eliminating carbs, especially when bulking

my lean mass diet looks something like this:

200carbs
300protien
75 fat

works pretty well, i must say.

the fat gain on it is very minimal if any.

I do 50/30/20 p/f/c and adjust my total calories consumed up or down by 500kcal depending on whether I'm trying to gain or lose.

If your LBM gains disproportionately exceed adipocyte gains, you will tend to lose fat due to increased metabolic demand to maintain additional muscle. That's why I advocatefor the notion of bulking as an actual dietary routine, as opposed to the so-called see-diet

Also the timeframe is another important issue - if one is gaining weight at a rapid pace, as opposed to gradual transition from one set point to another, rest assured that's only a fraction muscle, rest being fat+water

Thanks for the feed back, bros.

juve, what p/c/f do you follow?

 

[sungod21]

p=protien, c=carbs and f=fat.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Yes...okay, and?

I was asking what he followed, not what that stands for.
