Weight Training with Calorie Defecit - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

What will happen if you follow a weight training regime in the gym, yet have a daily calorie defecit of say, 500kcal (though still following a high protein diet)?

Would it be detrimental to your muscles because they are not getting the energy required to repair themselves?

Or would you see an improvement in muscle definition as well as fat loss?

as long as your protein is high and you have replaced the carbs with good fats then you will not lose muscle.

when you lose fat you automaticly get muscle definition so the answer to your 2nd question is Yes.
