Well, theoretically carbs and fat both qualify as "energy" so you can use your fat as a SUPPLEMENTAL energy source. The problem is that the body will pull from both muscle AND fat when in a LARGE caloric deficit. So the best way to gain muscle while losing fat is to go into no more than a 200-300 calorie deficit per day. The equation is: Daily caloric deficit of no greater than 300 cal + Good protein intake + your strength training on point + your sleep on point = the best way to lose fat while preserving/gaining muscle.
Correct. A surplus will help in building more and faster (abundant energy) however it's not necessary. Overall, the training intensity is the most important variable to "invoke the stimulas."
If you are in a small calorie deficit! There are studies on people who spend long periods of time in a significant/large caloric deficit and lose lose muscle, have higher cortisol levels and lower test levels.
Depends on the deficit. If this were actually true bodybuilders wouldn't be using a totally different course for prep. The reason they use a totally different course is to hold onto as much muscle as they can during a deficit. Not grow, hang on to. Food, rest, stimulation all equally important. What you eat matters.
The key is: 100% stimulus, and 100% recovery.
