If you gain muscle you'll be gaining weight. If you're incredibly overweight then you can lose fat, gain muscle, and lose weight. If you're not, you'll gain weight. Muscle mass is heavier than fat mass. Even if you're losing fat the muscle mass weighs more.

Then why can't you just say "I want to gain muscle mass"?
Wouldn't that be more to the point?

Haha sorry this is kind of pointless to debate 
I'm not trying to waste your time though lol

That's a myth I believe . Fat is the main building block of muscle with a very very small amount of protein. Fat goes directly to your muscle. It would be impossible if you ate 5 lbs and gained 8. That's just against the rules of physics and is completely silly. Eating x amount of calories will always determine your weight. Not adding muscle mass.

The person who said that is very retarded.

Muscle is largely composed of protein, not fat.  Fat is the building block of cell membranes.

The higher your body fat percentage the more it can be used as energy to construct muscle if there is adequate protein available + workout + stress

Kinda... it's decreasing gains the more BF% drops but you can still lose fat and gain or maintain muscle and stay the same weight or lose weight even near 12-15% or less. It will just be really slow,

How else do you think bodybuilders and fitness models and the like are about to cut down for show season?

That makes sense. Thanks

Ugh...

I guess I have to go back to the books...

Steve... I can't seem to find any good articles on how nutrients build muscle overtime. All I can find is crap and frauds. Do you have anything?

muscle is more dense than fat, but if you gain 5lbs of fat in two months and then gain muscle and lose that 5lbs of  fat you  couldn't possibly weight more. Maybe you’ll look smaller, but you’ll weigh the same. Right?

Try this.  And you will weigh more because you gained muscle while your net fat gain is 0.

If you want something more specific then hit up this book.
