Is this going to slow my muscle growth dramatically? I know I am not taking in as many calories or protien like I should but I am eating very healthy I just want to know if this could turn out bad.

Your body does not care that you want to add lean muscle, you must force it. Without adequate calories, it does not have to take on the burden of adding more muscle, which is just more maintenance for it. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
