re: Eat Better, Workout, but gain weight?

I mean how do you think bodybuilders do it?

1 of 2 ways

1) use protein sparing modified fast with very low calories and 80% protein. Think 1000-1200 cals with 200-250g protein

Or

2) slight caloric deficit of 250-500 cals with high protein

All while using walking to slowly strip the fat and still using a progressive lifting plan to get stronger/maintain strength and muscle
