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!

The “stuff” that turns into fat is the same “stuff” that turns into muscle, in a grossly oversimplified way. If you have less “stuff”, you can’t make anything out of it, for better or worse.
