Topic	If you need calories to build muscle, but you need to cut calories to lose fat

Kombucha posted... not to hijack the topic or anything, but what i'm confused about is this idea that people seem to have about fat not being able to turn into muscle. if fat is just stored calories, so why wouldn't the body be able to pull on those in order to help build muscle? I think that's because your body doesn't burn fat fast enough to use in muscle recovery. Its better at using food (i.e. calories) to do so, so that's why you see body builders who eat obscene amounts of food to use in "bulking." Obvioulsy you can't do that if you're trying to lose weight firstmost. yeah, hence cutting and bulking. makes sense. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:906858727] in If you nee...
