    I need to go from 89kg to 82 in about 4 weeks. I have worked out the amount of calories i should take but i do weight training about 3 times a week. Do you think the muscle mass i gain from weight training is going to stop me meeting my weight goal if i can meet the calorie goal . If so what can i do about this ? should i stop taking the protein drinks ?

    You will literally not gain a single ounce of muscle if you’re eating to lose 6kgs in 4 weeks, weight training will help you preserve what you have however.

    Thanks for the reply , this is reassuring, im aiming for 2450 kcal a day, im not 100% sure this is going to cause weight loss though and dont want to get less strong
