You want to use a preworkout drink other than coffee. You'll notice significant muscle tear and notice your performance ini your workouts are more intense. To keep your muscles toned, drink/intake about a gram of protein per pound. Especially if your daily regime is what you say it is under "notjustanotherguy's" post. You should be able to take a gram a day just fine. If you wanted to lose weight, intake more greens and fruit. Preferably blueberries to keep up your antioxidants and add lemon to your glasses of water. I do agree with the greek yogurt as a healthier thing to eat. Keep your caloric intake up though since you do NOT want to burnm more calories than you intake. Eat you almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pecans as those all contain some form protein and will add to your caloric intake. Make sure you get the unsalted kinds. I'm sure you probably drink some powerade/gatorade which is good in mdoeration to keep your electrolytes up. Other than that, you should be good to go.

its very hard bec you need the energy which means more food but to lose weight you need to cut cals. I had this when training for fighting too. The thing that worked for me was the zig zag diet which means on lighter training days or non trainong days I cut cals by about 300 less than I need. On hard training days I ate enough. The most important part it timing what to eat when. So have a fast digesting carbs mixed with protein a half hr bef you train. After you finish believe it or not studies show chocolate milk is really good since it has more electrolights than gateraid and the fat and protein help you recover. So a lot of times after training I have a smoothie or milk shake. This should keep your energy levels up. A great book on this is called nutritional timing for peak performance.

All you need is to keep this simple thing in mind.
In order to lose weight, you need to make your body use up it's reserves.
In order to start that process, you need to work off more calories than you take in.
You can eat near anything you want (but the healthier the better), and still lose weight AS LONG AS you work it off!
If you eat a candy bar, dedicate the proper amount of time to working off that candy bar, and THEN do a bit of extra work so that you can tap into your body's reserves.
That's the best possible way I can think of to lose weight without going on any weird diet, and without really limiting your food intake.
I'm sorry I don't know. But today I watched an infomercial about the Sensa Weight-Loss System. It was hilarious. Apparently you sprinkle this stuff on your food and you don't have to change what you eat but you lose weight. It was great.

Cut calories / increase cardio modestly and use a preworkout formula like N.O. Explode.. Alternatively you can drink coffee 20mins prior to a training session for an energy spike, but preworkouts usually have less of a jittery effect. That will solve your problem of energy levels during a training session while on a calorie deficit.
I wouldn't advise trying to "quickly" lose weight, while strength training. The idea is to lose weight, while maintaining strength (particularly for a sport like MMA), by modestly cutting calories rather than depriving your system of micro/macro nutrients with a drastic calorie cut. So, I'd aim to have a calorie deficit that helps you lose no more than 2lbs of FAT a week while maintaining muscle weight.High protein, vegatable, and fruit diets. Drink coffee or tea just before exercise. Caffeine will help metabolise fat cells and improve your endurance during the exercise routine. Do not use energy drinks or caffeine pills to achieve the same effect.
Cyclic ketogenic diet timed to workouts.
You may want to message me :pI heard that ufc fighters dehydrate themselves before a fight. Guys lose like 20 lbs in a day from this. Its obviously not healthy though.
