Just make sure most of those Kcals come from protein and 'good' fats

Subject: Caloric restriction AND muscles ?!?
: Is it at all possible? Do people on CR necessarily have to get SOOO
skinny?
:
: With CR, I understand, the body becomes more efficient in the way
: it uses the calories it receives. If this is correct, then the following
: might make sense to you.
:
: If I was to lower my present daily caloric intake (estimated at
2,200-2,400)
: to CR-level (i.e.~1,800) I would, of course, lose weight. Given that my
: body-fat levels are low, that would also mean losing muscle mass (not
quite
: a plus, as far as I'm concerned!)
:
: At some point, however, the above-mentioned better efficiency should
: kick-in, right? Doesn't that improved efficiency mean that I could then be
: able to maintain a pre-CR bodyweight (or similar) while staying on 1,800
: calories/day?
:
: .or am I just trying to have it both ways?
:
: Cheers,
: Fabio
