Is it easier to loose fat or muscle?

This is an interesting question. Weight is measure both of these things, so hard to disentagle.

Also, beyond that, it’s useful to know which one is easier or more difficult to lose.

When in a caloric deficit, the body primarily prefers to burn fat for energy. However, factors such as the size of the deficit, diet composition, exercise type, body composition, hormonal levels, and duration of the deficit can influence the extent to which muscle is also used for energy. To minimize muscle loss during a caloric deficit, it’s beneficial to consume adequate protein, engage in resistance training, and avoid extreme caloric restrictions.

Usually, the fatter you are, the more fat you will use. So, thats good for me.

But, you can make it a bit clearer by doing resistance training.

How do you know if you are loosing fat or muscle?

• Keep an eye out for muscle destruction — ammonia smell? urine?
• Make sure your protein is high.
