I think we have been here before! I think you need to consume more protein when off cycle to retain the muscle. BB is not about cycles and trying hard during those only.
What I think has been totally overlooked though is the fact that the original OP has not mentioned anything about his training apart from how many days. You could consume all the protein you want but if those 3 days per week of weights are half arsed then it isn't going to get you anywhere.

As above one thing says one the other says another,
As for luke and quality of amino and break down, christ on a bike who are we talking about cutler or just some lads in the local gym with full time jobs???
Im not sure too many people in my gym have ever gone into the quality of their aminos and believe me we have ex comp lads and some guys bigger that your local strongman and far far stronger.
Most lads i know and myself included buy lots at pretty much the lowest price as like protein its consumed so much and so quickly im pretty sure unless you are competing the difference is un-noticeable.
