How to Lose Body Fat and Gain Muscle With a Muscle Building Workout Plan
In general, if you want to lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time, the best way is to prioritize protein intake. This will help to prevent the breakdown of your muscle mass as well as burn of your excess fat stores. Then focus on a higher calorie intake - this should be primarily from whole foods - and a high intensity strength training workout plan. In the end, reducing your body fat will lead to a leaner and more toned physique and increased muscle mass will increase your resting metabolic rate so you can keep burning calories even when you're not working out!
