Good healthy fat like Coconut oil, olive oil, butter, fish oil, eggs etc and not vegetable oil or trans fats etc. That way you won't catabolise and your own muscle.

My diet for last few months has been strict. I had a nutritionist work with me until we found the best combination of macros where I'd lose fat but not totally screw all my muscle. I did drop a lot of body fat, but also lost a lot of muscle. More than I should have I think.
My concern now is to do whatever I can to limit the fat I put back on when I bulk.

ive had some experience with T3 and have taken while cutting and I believe its bloody brilliant but drugs don't work magic you have to put work in
so you can either same them for cut or take with bulk but don't expect to lose fat just help keep it lower while on bulk
carbs can be something to drop in cut but in bulk feel they are very much needed

I spent a year and a half tweeting diet. I think my metabolism is basically just shot. I can cut body fat, but the amount of caloric intake it takes just dismisses muscle far too fast, and even when I'm on test that doesn't really stop it.
I hired a nutritionist because I got to the point I was like damn, nothing is working.
My last cut I dropped 20 pounds. Body fat was lower than ever, but I lost significantly in terms of muscle. All my lives dropped and I didn't feel good.
I get to a certain extent it's unavoidable. But we had to mess with my macros for months to get to the point my body was dropping fat.
