I am absolutely not "starving myself". I eat tons of protein throughout out the day. And, of course, I load up on protein before and after I work out. I eat a big protein rich meal before sunset. But, at night, only eat fruits and veges. If you time it right, you will not be hungry and you will not lose muscle mass.
Here is a sample of my daily diet...
8am - smoothie (bananas, almonds, dates, coconut flesh, honey, protein powder)
9am - fresh fruits and nuts
10am - 5 or 6 egg whites, one whole egg, scrambled with veges. and tortillas.
1pm - fish, chicken, or steak tacos
3pm - peanut butter and jelly sandwich (pre work out)
6pm - another big meal (grilled chicken/fish/steak with brown rice and veges)(post work out)
8pm - fruit smoothie or salad
before bed - protein shake.
Also, this is my summer time "6 pack" diet. If I was just trying to get as big as possible, I would do things a little bit different.
