I am just coming back from a knee injury that put me on my ass for about 2 months and now I am doing a month of PT. Naturally, this came with a lot of muscle loss since I could not bend the knee for those two months at all, while I gained weight from doing very little (Yes, I could have dieted, but inactivity is not fun already).
Question is, now that I need to build the muscle back up in the leg, is there a way to also cut fat or am I basically stuck with building strength back up and then cutting down fat again? If there is a severe imbalance, is it possible to cut down on calories and still regain muscle where it's severely lacking?
I didn't put on too much weight (went from 5'10" 195 down to 185 from atrophy and then up 7-10 lbs in, what I am guessing is fat from sitting around), but still would like to get rid of it.
