    can anyone recommend a good protein for keeping lean I was on usn annabolic fuel mass 2 just seemed to make me a lot more bulky was on that for about 6 months and haven't taken it for awhile now my training consisted of 3 day a week weight training and fourth day cardIo. so haven t trained or taken protein in about 2 months and have taken up mma training twice a week and weight training 3 times a week.
    my weight 87kg around 13stone 8.
    and height 5ft 10inchs. want to make 80kg.
    my diet is poor as well at the moment
    and was thinking protein would help as not getting enough through out the day?

    Basically any simple whey protein.

    Not even a chicken breast or an egg? Taking a protein supplement is the basically the exact same as a couple of eggs or a chicken fillet or steak. Taking a shake rather than a chicken breast isn't going to make you 'bigger'

    And the No.1 reason why people 'fail'. You need to count your calories. Use Myfitnesspal or some other online calorie counter to document all your foods. To lose the weight you need to be eating less calories than you are currently expending. A baseline figure is taking a deficit of 500 calories per day, which will result in around 1lb being lost each week. I wouldn't recommend any lower of a deficit as you say you are training pretty hard and often.

    Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), plenty of online calculators- http://www.ibodyfit.com/calc-mycalories.php For example.

    Then calculate how many calories you expend using the same page above. Knock 500 calories off and there is your baseline.
