Body recomposition: Can you gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously?
Body recomposition, the process of gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously, is possible for some individuals. Research suggests that individuals who are newer to resistance training and have more body fat can experience successful body recomposition. In a caloric deficit combined with a high protein intake, individuals can add muscle mass while losing fat. However, body recomposition becomes less likely as individuals become more advanced in their training and leaner in body composition. For those who do not find success with body recomposition, going through sequential phases of bulking and cutting may be necessary.
