Also, don't think because you're doing cardio,you're going to burn fat and put on muscle at the same time. It doesnt work that way, in order to put on mass you need an excess of calories and to burn fat you need a deficit. They dont go hand in hand, thats why everyone either bulks then does a cut, or cut then bulk. Depends where your body is at

While that is very true, just keep in mind that cardiovascular endurance decreases at a much faster rate than muscular strength. The guys who bulk for a couple months with no cardio will have lost most if not all their cardio endurance when they were cutting.
It is possible to lose fat and gain muscle, its just slower than bulking/cutting, but nonetheless possible.
