Hell yeah buddy. Diet is all about feel and hit and miss. I would go with a diet that makes you FEEL good and still delivers what you need macronutrients and calories you need to grow. You can do the high protien/high fat/no carb shit and it'll work fine but it makes you feel "weird" after a few days without carbs and then hitting them again. Carbs help you function to a greater degree AND will keep you from eating up protien as an energy source. It doesn't have to be alot on a carb cycling cycle either. I'd keep my carbs under 50grams a day and keep my fats moderate and protien high, say double your body weight. It'll keep you from wasting away and still help you cut up! I would touch base with DK (donkey kong) on this site. His carb cycling advice helped me a great deal and alot of people GAIN strength when cutting down as well. SIZE wise though, it's tough to say since you're making your body use the fats on yourself for fuel, GAINING size might not happen and if it did it would be very slow. If you want to gain SIZE, my suggestion is to find out what you need daily calorie wise, then add 500-600 cals to that to add about 1-2 lbs GOOD lbs on you every few weeks. Eating clean foods will prevent you from putting on extra fat.
