ok , I am feeling good today so I will take the time to explain everything for you .
I will make it easy for you :
BMR = basal metabolic rate = the number of calories your body burns a day ( 24 h period ) by just maintaining you alive . It means you can sit in the couch all day long and you will still burn all those calories .
Usually BMR = bodyweight x 12 . So for example :
200 pound bodybuilder = BMR = 2.400 calories .
To gain muscle you need to to eat more than 2.400 and to lose weight you need to eat less than that .( depending on macronutrient ratio you can lose fat or muscle )
You gotta take in consideration the calories that you BURN on the GYM . SO , if you burn 500 calories ED on the gym , to GAIN WEIGHT you will NEED MORE THAN 2.900 CALORIES ( which is BMR + what you burn in the gym ) .
You can still gain muscle and burn fat at the same time and vice-versa depending on genes , diet , training , drugs etc.... BUT it is pretty damn hard and you will have to be ultra discipl;ined.
To build muscle and burn fat , aside from total calories I would recomend a 45 % protein , 35 % carbs and 20 % fat diet . SO , do the math and find out how many cals/grams of protein /carbs/fat do you need to take in DAILY .
That is basically it .
