Gain muscle, lose fat. Possible?

ninerbuff

Possible yes. But you'd have to be:

Brand new to lifting
Returning athlete after long layoff
Obese and lifting to encourage hypertrophy

Recomp is possible, but it can take a couple of years to see some significant muscle gain.

Eat at maintenance and lift heavy and often. Yes, it can be done.

Look here bud, you can do it but it is quite too hard if you've been lifting for about a 9 months to a year and half.
But it is very possible, question is, is it better than bulking/cutting or not?

Most people who bulk don't usually cut because they're used to eat their bulking food, got comfortable already, not mentioning dirty bulking, dirty bulking is complete *kitten*. Anyways

What you need to do is to eat nutritionally dense food, you can lose weight or gain muscle with few bad meals, but you can't do both with the same principle.

Maintain your macros, or cut back 100-250 calories max.
Keep your protein rate up to 25-35% (higher range is better)
Workout routine that doesn't last longer than 45 minutes a time (excluding your cardio)
Do HIIT cardio for 10-20minutes because it burns fat, boosts metabolic rate (afterburn) and it increases legs muscularity so it's perfect for gaining muscle losing fat
Stay consistent

Tho it works for people who have been lifting for year + but it is a lot slower.
