Keeping muscle will help you burn more calories in the long run and protein is not as easily converted to bodyfat, so it shouldn't be a problem. -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

First, take a tbsp. of healthy fats, prefferably flax oil, in about 15 minutes take your whey shake mixed with fiber. I am fond of flax meal here. Great fiber, wonderful nutrient profile, this whole drink will give you what you need, slow digestion, fill you up, and not impact blood sugars in any way. Take your ZMA if you are doing it and go to bed. MRP's may not be your best bet, due to they usually have malto in them for the best reason. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
