i don't even know if you have muscle. just go hard on losing weight and build muscle after. regardless you'll have monster calves/legs if you're that heavy.

>>42684212
this isn't OP I don't think

>>42684212
yea but he should be lifting while losing weight

I'll give you a real answer:

Calories in vs. calories out is a meme, it gives the right outcome 9 times out of 10. For normies, its an accurate enough doctrine for them to follow to achieve there 'health' goals, and similarly to how high school students in physics class use rounded figures for gravity in their calculations can get 'good enough' answers to 'how far jimmy's football will go', if the same inaccuracies were extrapolated out to real world issues like building a bridge, that bridge would probably collapse. So calories works for beginners.

Hormonal balance is the body is the real answer to fat loss and muscle gain, and here is my main point: YOU CAN 100% BUILD MUSCLE WHILST LOOSING FAT.

Its all about controlling the hormone insulin, getting enough protein and having periods of intermittent fasting.
>Eat at a calorie deficit of about 500 kcals
>Eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight
>Only eat very high fibre carbs with low GI
>Get enough fat in your diet to support testosterone
>Fast for 16 hours per day

ALTERNATIVELY

>Do keto
>Eat high protein

If I were you I wouldn't worry about losing muscle.
If you look like this, your #1 priority in your life should be losing fat. If you lose muscle and fat and end up looking like a dyel skeleton it'd still be 100 times better than your pic brah.
Best wishes dude, you can do this.

Pretty easy. Eat morning carbs for energy (bowl of steel cut oats) and then eat nothing more than the amount if lean meat (chicken breast, etc) you require to take in .75 x (your bodyweight in lbs) grams of protein

Saturday and Sunday eat at somewhere around maintenance calories instead, don't eat utter bullshit like ice cream and soda, but you can be more lenient with meals and eat whatever here

Take fish oil, vitamin d, and like a multivitamin. Drink lots of water.

Quick fat loss, minimal muscle loss.

You'll fail a diet this tough for sure though, so do something more manageable

i think that "eat X for each 1kg of your bw" doesn't work like that when you're fat.
If you were all muscle no fat then i would agree with that but since you can only tear so much muscle and everything else is fat you really don't need to eat 150g of protons when you're 150kg of raw fat.
It just doesn't make sense to me, you're not gonna magically replace the fat with muscle in one night.

>How do I lose body fat without losing muscle?
impossible

even on steroids you still lose bit of muscle, it's terrifying to even think about cutting natty

Nope, completely wrong.

If you supplement with high levels of protein people above 25% BF can lose large amounts of weight and build muscle at the same time.

Obviously the more trained you are, the harder it is to do, but for the undertrained and overfat it is easy to lose weight and build muscle if you eat your protons and lift.

how the fuck are you suppose to consume 120+ grams of protein in one meal then fast for 16 hours?

>>42684240 is me


Should I lose fat or just focus all on gaining muscle now?

Like this apparently

High protein, work out hard, don't cut too fast

>>42684625
It has always been 1g protein per 1lb LEAN MASS. Protein companies and confused Bros just fucked it up.

AAS users that are very high lean mass as much as 1.5g/lean lb

>>42684178
if you look even remotely like pic related then 'losing muscle' should be last of your concerns

>>42684397
does it hurt being that stupid

>>42684788
Sorry forgot there was 16 hours in a day

eat more protein, 1-1.5g per lb of weight, and do weight training. If you ONLY diet and/or cardio, you will lose muscle.
