How do I know what to eat and when in order to preserve muscle but burn fat? A little backstory: I'm a 41-year-old divorced father of three, so my time and finances are tight. I've always been able to put on size and strength fairly easily, but I've also gained fat easily, leading me to be overweight much of my life. When I've been able to lose weight, it often came at the sacrifice of losing muscle as well. My training is pretty consistent, doing split body workouts. My cardio consists of walking 2-3 miles a few days a week, and I make sure to get plenty of rest between sets. However, there is just so much information out there on dieting that it's overwhelming and hard to know what to trust.
