OK so a little intro. I train regularly (up to 8 times a week) I am very pleased with my current figure strength etc. I have just come out of a phase of constant strength and cardio training because I got bored of being the size i am which is just over or just under 75kg all of the time. So now i have started muscle mass training higher reps lower weight big volume focus to encourage muscle growth. I'v used scotts calculator to work out how many calories I need and I have the result of 2354 calories a day. Now I haven't been on it for long but whilst on it i'v had to reduce my portions dramaticly in terms of carbs and fats and I am also trying to eat as cleaner fats and carbs as possible which is good. I just feel a little bit empty on that ammount of carbs and fats. The split comes to 222g of protein 200g of carb and 74g of fat. I have only recently made the changeover from strength and endurance to mass and interval training. I imediatly put on a bit of fat BEFORE following scotts diet plan as the cardio was reduced and i was eating too much. The only thing is I must of been eating almost double that ammount of carbs arround the 400g region and staying relatively lean, is it possible that on my new workout routine of hypertrophy I can gain muscle with such a small ammount of calories?? I will try it over the next couple of months and see if it works but any suggestions on calorie intake weather i should keep it at 2300 or if i need to go over a little bit would be really helpful as I'm fairly confused by the new diet being so small, considering I want to get larger! haha!
Hope that's enough information just ask if you need more! thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :)
