I see where you could have found that... my bad
What I meant to ask was this:
If you are eating 500 under maintenance (say 1500cal) but with the bulking ratio (so those 1500 calories were 40% protein, 40% carb, 20% fat), how much harder would it be to lose fat, and why? Would you have more potential for gaining muscle under those conditions as well? Well, I don't know if gaining is the right word anyway, as you're not eating enough. But logically it would make sense that if you give your body muscle food and deprive it of fat food, it will build the muscles up and take the fat down while maintaining weight.
