To get all the nutrients and protein you need to build your muscles while on a calorie deficit is particularly difficult, especially because your body needs a certain amount of calories just for day to day functions. It's doable, but it involves a very strict diet that changes daily based on workouts, time of day, "scientific things", etc. Most people don't have the time, flexibility, or conviction to stick to a diet like that, especially because it's real easy to do wrong.

Most of the people I've worked with get the best results from doing one first, and then the other. I lost 30 pounds over 18 months (got fat after I graduated from college and stopped playing water polo) and have gained back almost 15 of muscle in the past 6 months (training for the Marines).

eat minimum 1g protein/lb bodyweight. eat at a moderate deficit on non workout days. eat at or a little above maintenance on workout days (good amount of carbs). repeat.

everything else is bs, near it, or produces minimal effects

Disregard everything this man says.
