muscle size

Also, as i work out, will they ever equal eachother in size? Last question, Is there a point to where muscles will stop growing without proper calorie intake? What i mean is if i work out but dont fill up on calories or whatever, will my muscles get to a point to where they stop growing? And if they do, would my right side and my left side match up in terms of size? Thank you and sorry for the long post.
