My body sucks at losing fat, I am stuck at 16% for like a year. But I can put muscle on quickly, it is easy for me. I can also qain fat very quickly, and I can lose muscle very quicky. Everytime I cut my muscle is all gone, and I have a good diet.
For those who put on muscle fast, is it harder for you to lose the fat then others who have trouble putting muscle on?

Also nobody loses muscle quickly...the main difference in size loss after somebody stops doing weights is in the sacroplasm size...actual muscle fibers take months to shrink.

Probably works on an individual basis
I can put on muscle pretty quickly compared to most of the people I lift with. But It also takes me the longest to lose the extra lbs.
I don't really lose a lot of muscle at all however, I just take it nice and slow, I WISH it could be a bit faster, but I'd rather take the time to shed gradually then to go all out and lose the muscle50joe...lover of bodybuilding, and builder of 4G63T motors.

If you can't get past 16% BF you're definately doing something wrong. Diet, calculated your maintanance calories wrong?
I can easily lose the needed weight when needed when diet is in check and upping cardio depending on how fast you need to lose the weight.

read up a bit on ****types
one can be meso-ecto or ecto-endo or meso-endo wich would not fit in any of your options. ecto endo hard time muscle but doesnt low or gain fat quickly, meso ecto and meso-endo both put on muscle quickly but one is skinny one is fat.
