Why you can’t build muscles in a calorie deficit despite weight training

580 viewsBiologyOther

After getting into weight training, something is confusing me. They say that you cannot gain muscles by weight training if you are in a caloric deficit. But if someone is actively working on their muscles through weight training, why is this?

Would this rule carry over to someone who had a high % of body fat or does this only apply to people with low body fat %? If someone had a high body fat %, will they still not gain any muscles if they are weight training but in a calorie deficit?

I genuinely don’t understand! TIA!

you can, your body just isnt very good at it

its a lot faster and easier to build a house when you have lots of materials available to choose from

you can also build a house with the absolute bare minimum material required but its going to take longer and be more difficult
