                                While the traditional bodybuilding approach separates muscle-building (bulking) and fat-loss (cutting) phases, studies confirm that for many individuals, it is absolutely possible to build muscle while simultaneously losing fat. This process is known as 'body recomposition,' and it answers the question, 'will you gain muscle if you eat at maintenance' with a resounding 'yes,' under the right conditions.
