That's why when your main goal is fat loss, it's essential to keep your protein intake between 1.0-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, that way it'll help to spare your lean muscle gains as you're losing weight. Taking a BCAA supplement helps to keep your muscle gains intact and promotes protein synthesis as well.

Yep. Thats why I told him he was probably overtraining. Im sure he's losing weight but his body composition couldn't be good.
Your goal when losing weight should be to hold on to as much muscle as possible.
With the diet he showed us i'd bet he is at least 80-100 grams shy of the amount of protein he needs daily.
