Makes sense. You need fat (energy) to build and maintain the muscles. Muscles get used as energy source first, fat second, because fat is for emergencies.* Which is why muscly without fat looks so fake (and ugly imo).
* At least that’s what i was educated for cows as a farmer, no clue what the fitness guys learn nowadays.
No, your body prefers fat as an energy source. Turning muscles into energy is a lot of effort for your metabolism, and building new muscles when you refeed also.
Uhm, no, it builds first fat, needs fat as an “ingredient” to build muscles (makes no sense to build all that muscle if you barely have enough energy to survive). Then burns preferably muscles. Fat is hard to convert, protein (muscle) is easily accessible (bodybuilders take protein as supplement). You need excercise and not just starving to lose weight, no?
And btw, even just keeping muscles needs more energy. Fat not.
No, muscle protein synthesis needs amino-acids. Fat is not used to build muscle
Then burns preferably muscles
No
Fat is hard to convert
Not nearly as hard as it is for the body to atrophy muscle mass, turn the proteins into amino-acids, and turn those amino-acids into glucose and then ATP
protein (muscle) is easily accessible (bodybuilders take protein as supplement)
It isn’t, and the digestion of whey protein supplements can not be compared to muscle atrophy
You need excercise and not just starving to lose weight, no?
At this point I’m sure you’re just trolling, because that couldn’t be further from the truth
And btw, even just keeping muscles needs more energy
True
Fat not
Keeping fat cells also uses energy, just not nearly as much as muscle mass
If you wanna know my credibility on this topic I would suggest a look at my profile picture
It depends. Muscle underneath a small layer of fat is amazing.

Lmfao Yes.
