Alright, thanks for the input.

I mainly ask because right now I'm training for big decifits and fast results. It's pretty much working as far as definition goes. A few months ago I looked about like Gabe Reudiger. A few weeks ago I finally started seeing a full six pack and now it's getting more defined. I used to have some sausage tits and lack of lower chest defintion, but now I've got the lower chest creases and all. I'm just concerned with losing muscle.

To get fast fat loss results and SOME muscle gains, I've been eating like 3000 calories, 400-500 carbs, and 250-300 grams of protein on lifting days, while on cardio days it's more like 2000 calories, 130-150 carbs, and 180-200 grams of protein.

I just want to make absolutely sure that this does equate to SOME gains to balance out whatever I lose on the cardio days. So far I seem to be gaining, but it's hard to tell how much is muscle gain and how much is just added definition. Strength-wise, my bench is static, but my shoulder, chest, and lat excercises are improving.

I just want to be very cautious about this so I don't come out looking like an Ethiopian.
