However, I think that you are going about this in the wrong way. To gain muscle you must take in a surplus of calories, but to lose fat you must have a caloric deficit, so you can see how they are at odds. Plus, low fat is no good. Fats are used to produce hormones which help in building muscle.

Actually, gaining mucle will metabolize more fat. Also, you grow muscle by feeding them the right nutrients and working them to near failure. You can balance all the calories with work to end up even; the added muscle will then burn up more of your fat. Plus, the right cardio will also train your body to process fat for fuel.
ON (Optimum Nutrition) makes a great powder that mixes well with anything - even water. And it tastes great. You can get it on line from
www.musclesurf.com. I think it end up being about $35 with shipping and has 80 24 grams servings.
