im about 6'2'', weight about 205 , but its not all muscle.....well, sorta, im skinny all over, just have a little (not big by any means) beer belly....my goal is to get a little bigger, but mainly be ripped and to get that 6 pack, the 6 pack is my main goal, then have a nice ripped, tone body.........i try to take in 2,000 claroies or less......sometimes i think i only get in 1,500...as far as protein, i take the high-5 protein shake (30 gs protein i think) once a day, and usually have a gangload of chicken for dinner.....i would say i take in about 50 grams or less of carbs......and like i said, im about to cycle of the creatine, actually at the end of this week, so thats why im wondering if i should supplement something (along with the protein shakes) to get a more ripped body (abs).......or should i just stick to shakes?

Doesn't sound like you're too sure of how much of anything you're taking in. Do you write this stuff down anywhere?

Well, like Wino said, you can't get big and ripped at the same time. You have to decide which one you want to do.

Either way, the first thing you have to do is to figure out your LBM. This will tell you what your fat % is. This is usually a pretty good guide...if your % is high, go for the weight loss...if it's low, go for the weight gain. If you got a beer belly though, I would say the fat loss is the way to go.

From your LBM, you can figure out how many calories you need to take in and how many grams of protein/carbs you should be taking.
