    my arms look much bigger and feel solid not watery,ive got much stronger too.
    my matainence is only 2078 cal so I don't think 1500 cals is to low really.as ive said im looking to lose weight to lose fat and shread up ,then after all this is tight and looks good,ill the bulk to put on larger amounts of muscle.
    am I right in doing this ????

    Looks =/= muscle gain. Fat loss can make a muscle look bigger.

    Also, your maintenance is not 2078. If you look above, I did the math based on your actual loss.

    If you are struggling to get calories, it means you are eating too many diet foods as calories =/= volume.

    Based on your weight loss so far, probably around the 2200-2500 calorie range.

    As as indicated, caps locks = yelling on the internet.
