what happens to muscle when cutting?

[ehrmanman]

So when you are cutting, what happens to your muscle when you train it? obviously you aren't gaining any weight cus you are losing it, but what happens to the muscle? will it change its shape or something? Why do you need to train that muscle when you are cutting, what happens if you don't lift but just cut?

nothing happens to them.. they stay the same and fat goes away. if you dont train, you will lose muscle size since your body thinks you dont need it

Lol no.

When you cut you're obviously in a caloric deficit. Since you're in a caloric deficit, your body is going to use muscle tissue and break it down to form carbohydrates to use as a fuel source. This can be limited with proper diet, however, it is inevitable. So you train the muscle to keep stimulating growth. That way muscle loss isn't as bad.

u will lose some since ur in a calorie defecit
that's why much types of cutting diets focus on very high protein content to converse muscle as possible
