I just read in another thread you cannot build muscle when in a calorie deficit! Is this true? I tend to not believe that statement but want to hear from those of you who have more knowledge in this area! Thanks in advance!

I posted a response to this in the original thread. I have a longer response there, but in short this is not true and is a terrible myth.0 -

If you wanted to read that thread. It makes sense to me.0
