If you eat enough protein then muscle loss won't be a problem. If you're trying to build muscle you should be taking in about your bodyweight in protein (Like if you're 155 pounds you want to eat about 155 grams of protein a day). Your diet should be as clean as possible (but cheat once or twice a week). Make sure you're getting enough carbs in to power your workouts.
What worked for me was lifting for an hour and running for about 20mins then doing about 10 mins of sprints after lifting (this was before i started training MMA). I'm not a muscular dude but i'm not going for bulk.
Hope this helps  __________________
