Depends.
Yes. If you get a complete protein and roughly twice (minimum) your usual protein requirement while reducing your calories enough to lose weight. AND you have the right combination of circumstances for breast DEVELOPMENT to occur. This is the actual glandular tissue we're talking about.
The rest of our breasts are fatty deposits over and around the glandular tissue, and this would deflate under pretty much any weight loss regime. Some more than others.
Depending how much of your current breast size is fat, how much tissue, how well you can stimulate tissue development, and how quickly you're burning the fat... See, lots of variables here. You may see growth. You may plateau whilst doing weight loss. Or you may actual lose breast size.
The key thing to remember here though is that the glandular tissue is permanent. Once you grow that, it'll never go away. The fat comes and goes.

I'm currently trying to lose some weight (5-10lbs), and I'm REALLY hoping I don't lose anything. I've grown a good bit already, so I doubt I'll lose any, but it might slow my growth a little. I'm trying to up my protein intake (I should normally be around 60-80g of protein for a day, but I figure now I should try to stay around 100-120g a day), but it's pretty hard when you can't afford protein shakes or bars everyday. So I'm going to slowly incorporate more and more protein bars into my daily diet, but realize keeping my intake so high will be hard while also lowering calories so much.
They key is to keep your hormones level while you lose weight. As you lose fat, your estrogen levels will likely drop a little, since fat causes extra estrogen production. However, this might also make it harder to lose weight, as using estrogen hormones in NBE will be more likely to cause fat. So I guess this is really where it gets tricky to balance the two. I think this might be part of my problem in losing fat. And no matter what you do, your body will burn fat where it wants to (you can thank genetics for this). So you may lose breast fat first, and you may lose it last, or even somewhere in between. Nothing can really prevent this when losing weight.
The more you lower your BMI, the more of a chance you have of losing breast fat, so keep this in mind and don't go overboard. Good luck in weight loss and NBE!

I have a protein paste I cooked up myself that packs a real wollup with an incredibly low calorie footprint. It's also fairly cheap to make.
I might post up the current version and my intended changes to the next batch I cook up... there seems to be an increased interest lately in increasing our protein intake around here.
Question is... Where should I put it?
I suppose Reference / General Information / Foods for NBE is as likely a place as any... It's not really exactly NBE-centric though. It's just a great way to boost your protein. Which can aid pretty much any NBE program, but it can also aid "Other Body Enhancements".... hm.
