[quote=Anonymous]To gain weight, muscle or fat, you need to eat in a calorie surplus. This is why body builders go through a "bulking phase" where the intentional eat more calories to gain muscle and some fat. Then they "cut" which involves losing the fat while maintaining their muscle. If you are eating in a calorie deficit you are eating fewer calories than your body needs so you body burns fat and some muscle, but hopefully mostly fat while maintaining your muscle. If you are losing inches then you are certainly losing fat. I assume you have lost weight in the past 14 weeks. Now to lose fat and maintain the muscle you have you should continue to lift heavy and be sure to eat enough protein (0.7-1g of your goal body weight). [/quote]
