Anybody have any good diets for staying lean? I have no problem packing on muscle but have a hard time when it comes to leaning out.

    Then keep lifting, eat adequate protein, and have a slight calorie deficit. I could give you a bro diet of chicken, broccoli, and rice, but it's not necessary and isn't going to serve you well if you can't stick to it day in and day out. Do what you did to bulk, just cut back little by little.

    Then eat at a small deficit (250-500 cals) rather than a huge one, keep lifting and keep your protein intake at an adequate level. There's no magic diet or combination of foods necessary.

    im friends with several competitive bodybuilders. While its not my thing, their dedication is AMAZING. when theyre in a bulk stage, they eat. like crazy. in a cut, lets just say if it were me, id be a miserable bitchy *kitten*. lolol

    high protein, low carb seems to be the way they do it in a cut. lots of carbs in a bulk cycle though.
