Basically...
Cut= Reduce amount of body fat, or general body weight for some
Bulk= Gain lean muscle mass, don't really care about BF% for the most part

in addition,
Cutting, you would have to create a calorie deficit to lose body fat.
Bulking, you would have to create a calorie surplus to gain muscle mass, and yes in process, you will gain 1-2% bf or more, depending on how your eating habits are. Generally, if you gain 10 lbs of muscle, it will burn 500 calories :] as 1 lb of muscle burns 50 calories. you do the math
, eventually the lbs of fat you gained will be gone as 3500 calories = 1 lb of fat.In addition
refer to this website, to see what your "daily caloric intake" is
and create either a surplus of 500-1000 to build muscle mass or subtract 400-500 to create a caloric deficit. You do not want to create a deficit more than 700+ as you will cause your body to go into starvation mode, which you do not want, it will start eating up your muscle mass if that happens.

lolz
thats the idea. weight lifting = builds muscle, cardio = burns calories and causes muscle loss.
so if ur bulking, try to minimize your cardio to 1x a week.
if you gonna bulk, eat more then your supposed to in a day basically like i've said above.
expect urself to gain muscle mass in months time. and with building muscle, u need to sleep more and also create resting time in between workout days.
