How do you build muscle and lose weight at same time?

[Anonymous]

I stopped working out about three weeks ago due to holidays but will start back again tomorrow. I was battling the bulge to begin with but have gained excess poundage due to my retreat from the weight room. Is it possible to maintain or even gain muscle while losing weight (i. e. body fat)?

While working out, you inevitably work your muscles so while losing fat you also work your muscles, it just really depends how much (because of the type of workout you are performing). Combining cardio workouts (running, aerobics etc) with fitness and weightlifting should help build muscle whilst also losing fat. Also protein helps, but I suggest white meat (not red like beef or pork) or fish , or from vegetables, eggs, protein shakes etc. But that doesn't mean you should cut other types of nutrients like good fats, sugar etc

I meant cutting those and replace them wkth proteins is a no no. Of course to lose wright includes less sugar and carbs, less fatty foods etc, but the key is to create balanced meal, to include them all in good forms

You don't.

Unless you use drugs. Or are a complete and total beginner.

There's a reason why "cut" and "bulk" are words. And why there isn't a word that means both, at the same time.

The normal conversion is that fat helps build muscle by in effect being used as building blocks. So yes. That isn't just possible but it is how it works.
Also the main reason that "fat" people can gain immense results very quickly in terms of muscle mass.

Eat lots of vegetables and proteins , then due some cardio and weightlifting

Such as fish and chicken? Since red meat is bad for the heart I've been told to avoid that. Pork fine too?

Fish and chicken are very good but not to much pork or red meat, I eat mostly chicken

Yes, it's called "juice", "roids", "gear"
Naturally you either bulk or cut. Take your pick and stick to it until you feel like you should switch phases
