A member asked:
I need about 2800 calories per day, now i'm dieting to cut down, if i cut hard will i lose more fat or more muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More muscle: Unless precautions are taken. Weight lifting will change the proportion to more fat lost than muscle. Also, being male, younger will tend to help.
