Gaining and Cutting Phases

Gaining and Cutting PhasesIs gaining muscle while simultaneously losing fat really too good to be true? I'm a male, weighing in at roughly 190 lbs at 6ft height with a (fairly) low body fat percentage. My workout buddy is similar, but weighs in at about 160 at 5 ft 10in. I'm struggling with all I've got to bulk up, but also find a way to shed that last little layer of pudge from my lower abdomen, hips, etc. I wanna build some nice, lean muscle to show off but my muscles either aren't big enough yet or I have too much pudge covering it up. Been reading around and there's so much freaking conflicting information on the internet about what to eat, how to exercise, BLAH BLAH BLAH that I'm practically drowning in it... and very discouraged. Is it as simple as eating at a calorie deficit while still taking in extremely high levels of protein and doing consistent, heavy, full-body weight lifting at least 3x a week? Currently we're hitting the gym with an intense full body workout 3x a week. We eat as much as we can, as often as we're hungry, and we take pre workout, creatine, and after workout protien powder. How do I balance muscle gain and weight-loss / trimming down? Can I really not do it at the same time? submitted by /u/theyfoundmyusername [link] [comments]
