Protein promotes muscle growth and every extra pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day. You want to gain muscle dude. Dont worry about weight, just worry about what you see in the mirror. -------------- I am from Philadelphia, for all the people who keep posting the infamous where are you from thread.

You are going to starve yourself. -------------- I am from Philadelphia, for all the people who keep posting the infamous where are you from thread.

You are only going to burn calories while you do cardio and then that is it. Your body continues to burn calories for as much as 48-72 hours after a weight training session, also like I said, the more muscle you have the more your body must burn calories to keep it. You may want to look into going about your weight loss in a different way. -------------- I am from Philadelphia, for all the people who keep posting the infamous where are you from thread.
