Recommended Answer:

You are thinking very logically, and one can appreciate how you're thinking.You CAN build muscle & burn fat at the same time IF you are:1. Just starting out2. On anabolic hormones (Testosterone, GH, IGF-1, etc)3. Just finished a dietAs you progress, it becomes harder to do both at the same time because of what you just stated: i.e. to gain muscle you need a calorie surplus; to lose fat you need a calorie deficit.The most simplest way I can explain to you is this:The leaner you are, the more your body absorbs what you eat and thus produces hormones necessary to build muscle & burn fat. If you are absorbing food like a sponge, then you will do both simultaneously. Like I said with the 3 points before:1. If you are just starting out - Your body will produce Testosterone/GH in response to the training and hard eating and you will build muscle/lose fat.2. If you're injecting yourself - This will be a dream come true but at the expense of your lifespan3. Introduce the infamous 'Bulking & Cutting.' This, I can explain with some detail - Email me if u're keen ;)90% diet, 10% training.
