Hi Cody,
Welcome to the WLF :)

The only way you can be gaining muscle is if you're bringing in more calories then you're burning. I keep hearing there's no way to build muscle if you're in a caloric deficit.

Have you checked out or ? They're both resources for tracking calories, nutrition and fitness.

Best of luck to you and feel free to start a journal over in the diary section so that we can get to know you :)
 
It depends greatly on what you are eating, if you are in fact losing fat and gaining lean muscle. Muscles are built from protein and water, so if your diet is high in those two fields and you are working out then you are likely building lean muscle. This is not bad, most scientific studies indicate that muscle gain improves metabolism greatly.

My advice to you is to track what you eay, eat for the nutritional value, not the fullness value and you will do just fine.

from my research I built my own diet and watch the progress through Fitday.com
