Can you actually build muscle while losing fat — even if you're already resistance trained?

We discuss whether aggressive calorie deficits make it harder to preserve lean mass, why higher protein intakes may be especially helpful during dieting, and how much protein women may need as they get older.

Dr. Schoenfeld also explains why body recomposition is absolutely possible, including in trained individuals, and when it may make more sense to pursue a dedicated fat-loss or muscle-gain phase instead.
