You need calorie surplus AND protein, carbs, fat tu gain muscle
You need calorie deficit AND protein, carbs, fat to lose fat and hold muscle
You can manipulate all that nutrient timing as you want but if you wont be following these 2 rules - you will not get results you want (gain muscle or lose fat) ie you can take all your carbs pre intra peri post workout other meals just protein or protein fats if you will be in total calorie surplus - you will not be losing any fat and NO you wont be gaining muscle and losing bf at the same time lol unless you will be doing this after a long break and regain the muscle you lost or your aas/hgh dosages will go up...OR...you wont be gaining any muscle if you will be eating carbs,protein,fat every meal if you will be in calorie deficit
protein - every meal, carbs - accordingly to my activity levels ie more carbs if I am active less if I am not but still spaced out pretty much all day long, some added fats but not much and adjusted calorie levels - nutrient timing that has worked best for me gaining muscle or burning fat...the more complicated nutrient timing = the more variables = the more confusion - why would someone need that?
