Neal Spruce of dotFIT answered:You need to use the bodybuilding formula of feeding the muscle while starving the body fat. Meaning, eat correctly and enough including protein intake, take your necessary daily supplements including a daily multivitamin/mineral formula and your pre- and post-training shakes/formula. Eat 4-5 small meals daily depending on your total calories needs. All meals should contain protein, fats and carbohydrates.

National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:A combination of a healthy diet combined with strength training exercises will help ensure you maintain muscle while exercising. In addition try eating four to six meals a day. Insulin response to a meal stimulates protein synthesis. Spread protein intake throughout the day to take advantage of the previous tip. Lastly do not neglect the importance of carbohydrates and healthy fats. It takes more than protein to preserve lean body mass.
