So the basic principle of building muscle seems to be to damage muscle tissue and repair it by consuming a lot of calories and protein. This is why body builders go on bulking/cutting cycles. Weight loss is about having a caloric deficit, which seems like it would impede any possible muscle growth. So I imagine lifting while dieting would be like being in a constant state of not having enough calories to rebuild damaged tissue.
Despite this, people still seem to believe that weight lifting is very good for changing body composition. I know weight lifting isn't really a high-caloric activity, but I do like the general health benefits it offers. Is it worth making it a regular thing while dieting, or should we wait until we are able to eat a caloric surplus?
