Can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time? i've read u eat 1 or 1.5 grams of protein per bodyweight cut out fat and eat 5-6 small meals a day to speed up your metabolism and some cardio 3-4 times a week in the morning will allow you to lose fat and maintain muscle, is this fact or fiction?

The general consensus is that you cannot bulk and cut at the same time. Personally I have no knowledge on the matter. Some folks in the forum along with myself are on a Keto diet, in which the goal is to cut while maintaining muscle instead of losing it.*See the fire sweepin' out our very street today.

Re: yo
When cutting make sure you've got your glutamine and when eating those 5 to 6 meals, get 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and you wont lose hardly any muscle when cuttingOriginally posted by mjfootball

i would say do 45 min low endurance cardio at least 3x a week even on a bulk, to minimize FAT GAIN. With proper nutrition, you'll still have muscle gains.

I have been lifting for five years and I myself have never had trouble gaining weight, while maintaining the same body fat%. I am lucky in that I am extremely lean and have no problem staying under 7-8% body fat year round. Now when I am trying to gain weight, like I am now it is a rather tedious process to gain weight while remaining a low body fat. I do it by eating extremely clean year round and never cheating even while bulking. I personally do not see bulking as an oppurtunity to pig out and eat whatever I want, rather I maintain my strict diet but just consume larger portions of food then I was doing to maintain my weight. This tactic has always allowed me to gain weight while maintaing a low body fat, but I have never gained weight and decreased my body fat, just maintained.

I think if you ate cleanly, didn't go on a huge bulking diet, lifted in the morning and did some small cardio in the morning on the off days, you would definitely gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Your gains would probably be slower. I actually lost fat and gained muscle at the same time just playing basketball, doing pushups, pullups, and chinups. Mind you, I didn't get real big or anything, but my shoulders and back broadened and my arms got bigger, as I slimmed down.
