Is losing muscle when cutting a myth?

Not a myth.

If you starve yourself and don’t eat, and not exercise/lift. You will lose muscle.

To maintain muscle, you gotta lift 2-3 times a week. Eat clean. Personally, I don’t like skipping meals/starving myself.
 
Do you actually lose muscle when you start cutting?

If i think about it logically, why would your body ‘eat’ muscle first and then fat? When you need muscles more than fat.

Is losing muscle imposible when cutting as long as i maintain my protein intake?

Or can anyone explain this to me?

If you think about this it’s pretty easy understand. People wouldn’t work out if excess calories were converted to muscle without work. So it is converted as fat requires more work to breakdown.

A body recomp is only possible in the presence of exogenous androgens.

Your body can't make your fat into protein.

Your body can break your fat down into fatty acids and glycerol.
 
no. Unless the cut is very little or done over a long period of time
