Please don't listen to this idiot above. Building
muscle has to do with a lot more than getting
sufficient calories. Protein is vital. I lived like
you're proposing to for over a year and lost a LOT of
muscle mass and became skinny fat, dropped to 135 lbs
at 5'11", doing primarily bodyweight exercises like
pullups. I then switched to higher protein, and doing
THE EXACT SAME THING I went up to 170 lbs within 6
months, while my bodyfat dropped, and I feel much,
much better.

So do your experiment if you want, and listen to the
fools who say protein is irrelevant, but when you lose
strength and wither away just know that adding protein
WILL make a difference, whatever dogmatic anti-science
811ers say to the contrary.
