I lift my weights, do 30mins jogging, eat my protein
Can I build muscle and lose a bit of fat at the same time?
My goal is a toned muscle look. So a bit of muscle like nice arms and chest that looked defined. I’m also working on that six pack.
Do you have to focusing on bulking and cutting separately?
u Yeah you can. That's typically what happens. As you build muscle you burn fat from being active. So just make sure your workout is balanced. Sounds like it is. Cardio is a good way to burn fat and then you can lift to build the muscle you want. Don't forget about diet though. That's a huge part of it. You don't want to burn fat and then eat fatty foods. Make sure you eat plenty of lean protein foods for recovery.
Not sure how to select the answer because originally "can you build and lose at the same time?"... yes... yes you can, but then you say "do you have to do it separately"... no... no you don't.
That said, 30 min cardio isn't going to do it unless you're doing REAL extreme HIIT. Shoot for at least double that, because realistically speaking it's only going to be the cardio that addresses the fat. Yes muscle burns more calories, no not enough to apply here.
Yes. But you'll get better results by eating in a healthy surplus while you're trying to build muscle. Then slowly eating in a high protein deficit (to not lose large amounts of muscle) to get to a leaner state. You'll likely be bigger than if you were to try reduce fat & build muscle at the same time.
If by losing weight you mean reducing fat, yes.
If you mean the actual number you see on the scale, not so much.
Muscle is heavier than fat.
Gaining more muscle density means they get heavier.

Just don't eat more calories than you need, and include more proteins in your diet. When you loose fat, it will seem to you that you might loose muscle mass, but don't fall for it, its a false feeling.
Yes.. its a simple idea
Work more, eat less and eat more protien and you will lose fat and gain muscle
Basically your diet must be around mostly good protien sources and never touch junk foods and sweet crap
i think you can do that. because building muscle uses energy so likely to use the fat stored, while taking protein from the foods such as beef muscle etc.
Serious bodybuilders go through a muscle building phase and then get cut.
I am pretty sure that is how it all works together
Yes of vourdevss muscle burns more calories
u Yes you can but it’s work involved
