I found someone who said this:
"If you really are at +15% fat, your metabolism will prioritize body fat over aminoacids and muscle for fuel, so your body will be able to burn fat and create new muscle (obviously not as much as in a surplus) given the right conditions (training, hormones, rest). Just get in a good program, stay in a deficit, and keep cardio at a minimum (mostly LISS).
Things change a lot when you want to get sub 15%, the battle then is to lose as little muscle as possible."
Is any of this true? Or just wishful thinking?
