One tip to Lose Fat and Gain Muscle is to vary your carbohydrates. On days that you lift weights, have your carbohydrate intake around 1 and 1/2 to 2 grams of carbohydrates to every pound you weight.

On your off days when you are resting, have your carbohydrate intake around a half or less grams to every pound you weight. This will not only give you the energy you need to perform your workouts but, it will also confuse the body and make it start using your stored fat as fuel. Your protein intake should remain the same on everyday whether you are working out or not.

To lose fat and gain muscle at the same time is very hard to do. It might seem easy when you read the above paragraph but, you need to know what kind of foods to eat and experimentation with your body over time to get it just right. So, my advice to lose fat and gain muscle is to work on each one at different times.

I would recommend that you build the muscle up first and then strip away the fat. It will be easier to lose fat once you have more muscle mass on your body.

To build muscle mass with your diet, it will take 2500 calories to add one pound of muscle. If you have a surplus of 500 calories a day over the time span of 5 days, you will gain muscle while bodybuilding with weights.

To lose fat, you need to consume less calories then you use. For example, a good goal is to burn 500 calories more then you need per day. Since 3500 calories equals one pound of fat and you lose 500 calories per day over the span of 7 days, you will lose one pound of fat. To sum it up, to lose fat and gain muscle you need to control your food intake and perform the proper exercises.
