When I was on my cut 2 years ago I was consuming 320g or so. I weighed 150lbs.
Did not lose any noticeable muscle mass.
Do you really need to be cutting if you only have 150 lbs of LBM? Are you 5'3"?

Muscle is something like 6 kcal/hr, fat is 2 kcal/hr.
Haha wow I was about to walk away the first time he replied but I guess people here do care and know what they're talking about.
I'm no rocket surgeon, but these numbers seem off.
I'm no rocket surgeon, but these numbers seem off. If the original declaration is in pounds, then an additional 10 lbs. of muscle would increase metabolic rate by 60 kcal per hour, which is 1440 kcal per day, which is hardly hardly anything. Ain't no way I'm maintaining 10 extra pounds on 3/4 cup of Cheerios every day.
So now to shift the direction of this post, I just got off of a diet, where i dropped about 13 lbs in 2 weeks while still lifting. I am now reintroducing complex carbs and sugars into my system. How should my eating be set-up?
It was the south beach diet. I did it to support my girl. Basically rabbit food and protein for the past 2 weeks. thats it.
Haha sorry my mistake in calculation- it isn't per hour, it's just kcal/lb or something- the base numbers I cited are correct, but it's not per hour. If you want I can look up the study later and see exactly what it is, probably per day or something.
Like drizz said, 13 lbs is a lot. If you want to gain it back, I'd move the solid meal to 8 am and add about 4 more eggs along with some oatmeal and fruit. Your first meal should be the biggest solid meal of the day. In general, you'll need more food than that to gain that much weight, and you should probably replace some of the supplement (the bar and shakes) with whole foods. Eat meals containing protein+carbs or protein+fat to stay lean.For example yesterday it looked like this:
8 am: Protein Shake
10 am: 2 hard boiled eggs & toast
1 pm: cobb salad with chicken
3 pm: veggies, hummus, protein bar
7 pm: post-work out shake
8 pm: chicken and ribs, bread, potato, salad
11 pm: protein shake

Well, then, I don't buy it. I'm about 170 right now; I don't see maintaining 180 just by adding a few extra spoonfuls of cottage cheese.
