cheers steve,

My training has been up and down to say the least.
Quiting, starting again, trying to lose weight one week then changing my mind and trying to bulk up the next.
Complete waste of time training like this!

Only recently have i been more focused and dedicated. Joining in on sites like this really helps you to set a goal which is what ive done.
Feeling stronger and more focused with every session recently.
Ive really got the bug!

Just ate a bacon sandwich though. feelin guilty now!

I aim for 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight,(others would disagree on this) i take in 460 grams of protein daily.

Have a set amount of protein each day,divided between your meals,
then just play around with the carbs and fats mate.

To lose bodyweight drop your carbs a little, to gain bodyweight up them a bit,and if you find u get to a sticking point up them somemore.

When cutting it is ideal to increase your Protein to 2gm per KG or body weight. To maintain what you have 1.4gm has been proven to do the trick and 1.5-1.7gm to build muscle, but as you quite rightly said to increase size increase your carbs as they will fuel your muscles and provide your body with its daily running, also allowing the protein you have in your body to build muscle and not be used up as fuel (in the event of a low carb diet).

Taking in any form of Macronutriant (as excess) whether it is Fat (most likely anyway), then Carbs and finaly Protein.
