CARDIO MAKE LOSE MUSCLES

cardio make lose muscles .This doesn’t mean you have to stop doing all those things, just to build muscle.

Biggest reason for muscle loss while doing cardio training is probably low consumption of calories.
This is simple math, if you burn way more calories than you consume you will lose weight.The body breaks muscle protein to conserve energy from it and thus you lose muscles.

The next thing is your daily protein intake.

Without  protein intake, you cannot maintain or build muscle.When physically active your body needs about 0.7 – 1.1 g of protein per pound of bodyweight .The protein intake needs to be even higher when doing intense workouts( protein intake should be high when doing  cardio workout ) .

Very low carbohydrates are one of the reason for muscle loss.

To burn fat you have to lower carbohydrates, but lowering them drastically is a mistake.A good rule of a thumb is to keep the protein intake constant and lower the calories by 300-500 under maintenance by lowering the carbohydrates.That’s cutting about 80g-120g carbs a day.
