To get lean you need to eat things like sweet potatoes, beans, brown rice, oats, chicken breast(skinless), egg whites, tuna and salmon.
You may want to do a search on "diet thread".
Or check the nutrition saction for gauns and loss.
Good luck.

Your muscles are made of protein, however you need carbs to build this protein into muscle. You will not gain mass with a deficit of either. Similarly, you also need a balance of fat in your diet.
