What you eat will either be used by muscle or stored as fat. This process is called nutrient partitioning. If your body partitions nutrients well, they'll go to muscle. If it doesn't, count on gaining 2 to 3 pounds of fat for every pound of muscle you try to build. If you're a good nutrient partitioner, almost every calorie burned comes from stored body fat and not muscle. If you're not a good nutrient partitioner, you could lose a pound of muscle for every few pounds of fat you lose. The good news is, you can acquire the ability to partition nutrients effectively by using a few simple strategies.
