If we have fat in our body, our system burns that fat and creates muscle. It eats from the body fat we have.
In old days (8 years ago), I was very skinny, with very little muscle. Now, I have a little visible muscle. In my life, there are a lot of things I do and I limit the exercise of creating muscles or eating well.
After 8 years, I am not eating (not properly), and I am doing no daily exercise.
My muscles have remained in a good shape for me, instead of losing weight- I ate very little 8 years ago, now I eat enough. I have a little body fat ONLY in my stomach.
I will now start to do biceps and chest exercises.
Question: Does this little body fat helps my body to gain muscles on biceps / chest? I will start eating well too, but does this fat I have help for biceps/chests muscles?
In the old days I was trying to eat a lot after workouts with proper foods(protein etc) so I will "eat the muscle "with the proper indregents.
