Eating only 1600cals do you think it’s enough to build muscle

[Htobrother]

I put on 2kg in 2 months or smth with surplus and gained a bit of fat
Now want to put more and cut down to 1600 cals because I’m not hungry
I eat only 2 times a day

what's your weight and daily protein intake?

 

[Deleted member 3526]

Depends on your starting lean mass and how much protein you are taking

2kgs per month is good goal
Jfl 1,600 kcal is for cutting for sure

[Tyronecell]

Don't have how to put muscle mass without gain fat OP
So do with 2000 calories imo

only if you somehow can find the energy to train hard on such a low diet and you still havent maxed out beginner gains.

Maybe because you don’t have the same muscle mass as me I’m not fat tbh

 

[goat2x]

Greg Doucette has the best approach to this imo
being in a caloric limit that can builds muscle,loose a little bit of fat

 

[tyronelite]

Its not the calories, its the grams of protein that build muscles. If the 1600 calories consist of 150-200g of protein you're set.
