So is &#8220;build muscle and lose fat simultaneously&#8221; a myth or can it actually be done? Let&#8217;s explore the facts behind it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To answer the question first \u2013 Yes, it is possible to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. But if you ask if it is easy, then, not as easy as a general fitness routine is. It\u2019s a known fact in the world of fitness and bodybuilding that during the muscle building phase one takes a protein-rich diet, and the caloric amount is high when bulking. However, when you want to lose fat, the number of calories are lowered and the training sessions are designed accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then how does one build muscle and lose fat at the same time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, there are some <\/span>muscle building exercises<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and training routines called DTP and also HIIT. But before we understand that, let\u2019s understand the basic concept of muscle building and fat loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#What_is_Muscle_Building\" >What is Muscle Building?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#What_is_Fat_Loss\" >What is Fat Loss?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#How_to_Build_Muscle_and_Lose_Fat_Simultaneously\" >How to Build Muscle and Lose Fat Simultaneously?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#How_can_Beginners_and_Untrained_Individuals_Build_Muscle_and_Lose_Fat_at_the_Same_Time\" >How can Beginners and Untrained Individuals Build Muscle and Lose Fat at the Same Time?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#Choosing_the_Best_Route_for_You\" >Choosing the Best Route for You<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/build-muscle-and-lose-fat-is-it-possible-simultaneously\/bid-4340\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Muscle_Building\"><\/span><b>What is Muscle Building?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/6-best-protein-powder-for-muscle-building\/bid-6532\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle Building<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is quite simple in its definition, i.e. you gain weight in terms of lean muscle mass. To do this, not only does one have to train correctly but also consume the right foods and supplements. Building anything requires an excess of materials and in this case, you need calories. Some need a little, some need few; depending on their genetics but one thing that is certain is you need to be above maintenance. So if your maintenance calories are 2000, then you will gain weight at 2500 calories. Whether you <\/span>build muscle<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or fat, depends on your protein intake and training frequency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To build muscle ensure that you are in a caloric surplus and working out at least 4-5 days a week. In addition to this ensure that your body, as a general rule of thumb, is getting 1 gram per pound of lean body mass as protein. Opt for leaner cuts of meat like chicken breast and turkey, and do not forget to supplement with whey protein and glutamine, if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top Muscle Building Supplements<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/whey-protein?navKey=SCT-snt-pt-wp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whey Protein<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casein<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/nutrition\/sports-nutrition\/pre-post-workout\/glutamine?navKey=SCT-snt-pw-gm&amp;itracker=w:hkconnect%7C;p:inter-linking%7C;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glutamine<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Fat_Loss\"><\/span><b>What is Fat Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat loss is the other side of the coin whereby you are trying to preserve your lean body mass and reduce weight, ideally in terms of body fat. To think you will only lose body fat is a far-fetched idea and some muscle loss will also occur. This can, however, be reduced by supplementing with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/amino-acids-bcaas?navKey=SCT-SPT-amin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BCAAs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and keeping your protein higher still. For fat loss, it is optimal to aim to lose 0.5 kg per week and again that would differ, based on your maintenance calories, for individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat isn\u2019t predisposed in one area, so do not even think that you can only reduce fat from a particular body part. For some, it might start at belly fat and for others, it will be the last to go off. Optimal fat loss occurs with the right amount of weight training and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cardio<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but uses this to only increase your caloric deficit, not create it.

DTP stands for Dramatic Transformation Principle. You will be able to read about DTP and its application in detail in our next blog. But for a quick understanding \u2013 in DTP both high and low rep ranges are used. This helps you take advantage of both heavyweights and the light ones when it comes to muscle building. Similarly, training sets specially designed in DTP for fat loss and muscle building, help you achieve your desired results of burning calories and building muscle efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, under the expert supervision of a fitness trainer, correct nutritional intake and application of the right kind of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), you can achieve your difficult but possible goal to build muscle and lose fat at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_Beginners_and_Untrained_Individuals_Build_Muscle_and_Lose_Fat_at_the_Same_Time\"><\/span><b>How can Beginners and Untrained Individuals Build Muscle and Lose Fat at the Same Time?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginners by definition are individuals who have never experienced hypertrophy, meaning they do not have enough muscle for definition and\/or size. This being said, the smallest resistance will affect them, meaning not only it\u2019s a beginners\u2019 guide to build muscles but training will actually help them lose fat at the same time. To do this, one must not have gone to the gym anytime before. This is what you should do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculate your maintenance calories. There are plenty of calculators on the internet that do so. Or ask us here.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat 100-200 calories below your maintenance as part of your <\/span>muscle building diet plan<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workout 3-4 days a week, full body 5\u00d75 program.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat in a 40-40-20 ratio meaning your calories should be divided into 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 20% fats. Opt for healthier choices like chicken breast, sweet potato, broccoli, olive oil etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With untrained individuals, the same concept of <\/span>muscle building foods<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and workouts applies. Their muscles have atrophied and because of muscle memory, you will gain your muscle and lose fat by being on a caloric deficit. Enhanced individuals can pretty much gain muscle while being at 5% body fat but then experience the side effects of anabolic steroids. This is a route we would not advise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Best_Route_for_You\"><\/span><b>Choosing the Best Route for You<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, simultaneous muscle building and fat loss is not everybody\u2019s fitness requirement. Like most, you can choose to take the two paths separately without getting involved in high-intensity workouts if not required. Choosing whether you want to build muscle or lose fat is quite simple actually. Firstly you would need to look at your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">body type<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and body fat. Analyse and get a thorough body composition done. If you are above 20% body fat, you should ideally cut first, and thereafter opt for fat loss. If you are an ectomorph or under 20% body fat, muscle building is the right option for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you know, <\/span><b>muscle building foods<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and supplementation are equally important by now so if you want to build muscle, remember to keep your protein and carbs high with moderate fats. Try to get most of your carbs post workout for maximum gaining. For fat loss, indulge in a high protein, low carb, and moderate fat diet and use the mirror as a benchmark, not the scale!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is, it is possible to <\/span><b>build muscle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lose fat simultaneously. But not everyone is required to do so! It completely depends on your fitness goals.
