12 week weight gain or weight loss ? do you have cheat meal / day for every week ? Can explain abit of your cut. I will end my cut in early june. Afraid of losing too much muscle.
you've asking me about cutting since last year and to be honest, if you asking of losing too much muscle, you probably don't have much muscle to lose to begin with.
I did my fat loss last year and when you are lean, insulin sensitivity improves and you tend to not store bodyfat that easily when gaining mass. I have the fat man genes as well.
During my fat loss, I only have a cheat meal per week when progress is good. I always stick strictly to my diet (ate like a clockwork), did my cardio ,read tons of books (everything from justin harris and shelby starnes, and all lyle mcdonald's latest book, loren cordain paleo diet book and etc.) and watch countless seminar DVD (james smith, eric cressey) while doing the boring cardio every morning.
just to add when I lose too much weight in a week, I do super high carb days where I consume approx. 800g of carbs, 175-200g of protein, minimal fat.
Good cookie for super high carb days

Cutler Cookies

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
Optional: (I don’t use these)

again all these depends highly on individuals and week by week progress.
