everyone knows that you are going to have to gain some fat in order to put on serious muscle during a bulk...
but my question is (please pardon my newbdom if this is a really obvious question) what is the consensus on keeping muscle while you're cutting fat?

Set caloric intake to 80% to 90% of TDEE while insuring macro/macronutrient sufficiency.

It's a complicated procedure. Diet is everything (macros) and I've always found cutting nice and slow, try not to become impatient.
