I disagree with this, staying in constant caloric deficit does not give as good of results as zig zagging.

Would be interested in scientific studies on body composition to support that theory.

I agree with wavelength, his is the optimal diet to be ripped at a sub 140lbs bodyweight.

  If you can come up with a better key phrase than 'zig zag diet,' then I'm sure you'll find plenty.  Besides genetics, your metabolism is most heavily influenced by your caloric intake.  The reason staying in caloric defecit is not ideal is because your body tends start using muscle for energy when it senses it's being starved.  This is why professional athletes who's livelihood relies on them making weight while staying as strong as possible generally do some kind of more complex calorie manipulation than just staying in defecit-definitely competitive bbers too.

Metabolism depends on total (avarage) intake, never denied that. Your body will start using muscle for energy if your avarage deficit is too high, no matter whether you're zig-zagging or not. Professional athletes use many different methods. Just because e.g. some pro BBs use a certain method doesn't mean it's more effective than any other method especially considering their diet success is mostly dependent on other factors anyway.

Bottom  line = take in more than you need you gain. Take in less than you need you lose. All numbers.

  Seems like you just argued for me...maybe I am misunderstanding.  When the deficit is too low for too long, you start eating muscle, that is why the zig zag is good-so you don't go too low for too long, whereas staying in constant deficit is doing exactly that.

Maybe it is a misunderstanding, what I meant is this: Say you zig-zag where you have 5 low cal days and two high cal days, but not going to extremes. When you take the avarage of those 7 days and just eat that for all 7 days, results will be the same. At least that's my experience.

i think wavlength is fine with his ultra ripped twink status, it honestly wouldnt take much diet manipulation  for him to put on a good 10 pounds of muscle and be uber man, just as the same it wont take much diet manipulation for me to lose a good 10 pounds of fat

grapejuice is the ultimate thing to fill out with thats why they always reccomended creatine with grapejuice because grapejuice  is the master, also can do without atleast 2 gallons of water a day since the body is mostly water it cant look full without it, its more difficult to drink the water in the winter time cause you get colder thats why you must MAKE THINK the body is in summer time by dressing warmer to let water flow through the body more readily

Wave was ripped in the last pics I saw, so are you trying for just epic leans or mass with epic leans?...wonder why grapejuice is recommended with Creatine?

grapejuice is reccomended because its always worked, too much data saying how good grapejuice is for the body

takes a few days for grapejuice to really kick in so to speak

i think ill be about 10-15 pounds heavier in muscle hypothetically speaking if we had the same height fram than wave if i can get as ripped as him. so not that much of a difference

I was ripped because I followed a few very simple rules, like everyone can. I'm a twink because of injuries, bad genetics, and lack of drugs. That's all there is to it.
