Yeah, well he didn't say he wants to be HUGE, did he? He has his plan, and I don't think anyone can say whether he's too big or small....

Who said anything about getting huge? And yes, people can very easily say that he is too small. If he were to go to the doctor and get weighed, I'm sure the doc would tell him that he is below normal for his height and that he should look into adding some weight.
I'm not saying he's some skinny twerp who needs to eat up. I'm suggesting that some minor changes in his diet and workout could be very beneficial for him.
I feel a lot weaker recently... I was in a fight last night and if my friend wasnt there I was in trouble... and normally I am a much better fighter for my size so I dunno whats up. I want to be low % body fat but I dont want to be weak... so is a keto diet the way to go? I wanna trim and gain muscle at the same time or at least trim and not lose all that much muscle. Thanks for the help guys...

I still don't think anyone has the right to tell you whether you should bulk or cut.... if you're asking for cutting advice, they should give you cutting advice in my opinion.
But they were just trying to help. Either way.... if you're wanting to lose fat and THEN gain musle, you're kinda going about it the wrong way. It's always better not to worry too much about gaining some fat when you're gaining muscle.... that way you can get enough calories and protein and carbs so that you can lift heavy and train hard.... it's almost impossible to gain muscle while losing fat or maintaining your exact fat levels. Most people go the opposite, actually.... and lose a little muscle during their cutting cycle.
I'm almost starting the 3rd week of my cutting phase, and I think I've already lost size from my arms and chest. Dunno how accurate my measuring tape is, considering I do it myself.... but still.
So, if indeed you do want to gain muscle.... try not to worry about fat. Fix that part first, and then cut later.
Sorry to the other guys if they took what I said the wrong way (and sorry for calling Diamond a bonehead.... heh heh....) I just thought if he was asking for cutting advice, give him cutting advice and let him make up his own mind about how big or small he wants to be.

i think the best to explain it is how everyone else would say it how they said it to me
6meals a day ,balance the p/c/f/cals and cut carbs out before 6
but theirs more diets should do a search on "DIETS" if u feel weak and almost got your ass whooped is because of no carbs
CARBS are your freinds OATMEAL,YAMS,VEGGIES,BROWN RICE ,ONCE IN A WHILE WHOLEWHEAT PASTA ,WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.............AND GET PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTIEN=TUNA,CHICKEN,TURKEY,EGGS,MILK(I DUNNO ABOUT YOU BUT MILK DOES THE BODY GOOD),COTTAGE CHEESE,FISH,STEAK, PROTEIN SHAKES ARE GOOD ALSO just dont live off them
i have one protein shake a day the rest is from food shit to expensive for my college ass:/

Obviously you need to hit the weights hard to even come close to your goal (that's aside from any genetic factors that may stand in your way). I suggest you visit this thread for some dieting for bodybuilder's advice

Bobby, the reason you're weaker is because of how little you were eating. You were forcing your body to breakdown the muscle you already have, to use as fuel to keep your body functioning.
