I read on a site that if you are cutting and are eating below maintenence, you're going to lose lean body mass, and that is the mistake all body builders make. They say instead to just eat more calories on days you lift, and less on your cardio days. From what I've seen on this teenbodybuilding.com is that you won't gain muscle, but you won't loose it as long as you keep hitting your muscles hard.
In PE(9 weeks), I gained quite a bit of strength and endurance while losing a good 15lbs. But I just ate normal back then and didn't consider my diet. Now I started up again and have brought my diet into consideration, trying to lose quite a bit of fat. Should I do what that website says. Or are they wrong.

Does a calorie deficit and anaerobic lifting necessarily mean muscle loss?

If you've only been lifting 1-5 months you can actually build muscle while losing fat, once you get more experienced you gotta learn to cut properly and conserve lean mass.
If you diet correctly you'll barely lose any lean mass.Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill a million and you are a conquerer. Kill them all and you are God
If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

You say eat 500 calories below maintainence, but during this time do I also lift heavy? or light?
