Lose body fat AND gain muscle?

[RajS714]

Hi, started to workout about a month and a half ago, I've seen results, I'm gaining weight and muslce. However I think I'm gaining more fat then muscle as I would like to. So I was wondering if there is a way to gain muscle AND lose body fat at the same time. I average about 3500 - 3800 calories a day and about 200 grams of protein a day. My average grams of fat I would guess is around 115 maybe even more. So any advice would be helpful.

Thanks.

your stats please. I'd say you weren't eating enough protein for that amount of calories, and far too much fat. Also, no. you can't do both, well nothing worth talking about anyway.

Yes, it's possible.. especially since you're new to lifting. It will be difficult, and results for both will come slower than if you were trying to concentrate on one or the other. Search around and you will find guides. Carb-cycling and keto diets sometimes give people the results you're looking for.

Everyone knows that to lose weight you need to eat less and exercise more. Exercise is essential whether you choose to lose weight or maintain your present weight. Someone that increases the amount they exercise, but maintains the same diet and calorie intake, will almost certainly lose weight. Forget all of the fad diets, the fastest (and easiest) way to lose weight is with a combination of diet and exercise. Remember, don't exercise to lose weight - exercise because you want to have a healthy body!

People diet for two primary reasons, to lose weight, or to improve health or both. Many people who diet fail to lose weight or, if they do lose, fail to maintain the lower weight over the long term. How many times have you heard that the only way to lose weight through diet is to eat less? There is one type of diet that lets you eat well and still lose weight.
