Hey Everyone!

I would totally appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer here! I do a lot of weight lifting, and recently have upped my cardio as I'm trying to cut fat. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to cut fat without losing muscle mass? How much cardio should I be doing? What foods should I avoid? How do you feel about doing extra cardio at night?

Thank you!

    eat at a deficet and make sure you get enough protien.

    Cutting fat is about diet...and no need to avoid food..just stay in a deficet.

    I don't do any cardio...and continue to lose fat and bf% and maintain most of my muscle mass.

    The most important things for maintaining muscle mass is to

    1) Continue weight lifting through the cut
    2) Not cut at too large of a calorie deficit (10-20% of TDEE at most)
    3) Eat enough protein

    Eat at a slight deficit and eat lots of protein.
