For a forum that is supposed to be supportive, it's incredible how destructive and negative so many people are on here. It was the same for me on Bodybuilding.com. I posted details of my success with intermittent fasting and just got flamed alive by ignorant meat heads who still think you have to eat 5000+ calories a day to put on muscle. It's absolute bollocks.
In the last ten week period between Dexa scans (the most accurate measure of fat and lean mass), I put on over 3kg of lean mass and simultaneously lost 1.3kg of fat - and I continue to gain mass and lose fat, eating not much more than maintenance calories (between 2500 and 3000 calories a day) and consuming zero calories for 24 hours once a week, as per the 'Eat Stop Eat' protocol. If you eat mega-calories, the ones that aren't used just turn to fat and then you spend three months cutting. I don't cut and I don't bulk, I just eat reasonably and gain muscle and lose fat all at the same time.
Sorry to be a bit irrelevant, Messymatt, but it annoys me when people like you who post in good faith get shot down by others who think they know it all and clearly don't.
