wouldnt you AWLAYS lose muscle first thou. With ANY diet plan, whether youre eating 2000 or 1200. Cause when it boils down to it, when youre losing weight you HAVE to have a caloric deficit.

you can have a caloric deficit, lose fat and gain muscle. you just have to be very strict with your diet and very mindful of what your eating, when, how often and maintaining stable blood sugar levels,.. you can't gain muscle though as efficiently as you could by simply eating a lot and constantly, to make sure you your body NEVER goes into catabolic mode and turns to muscle for energy. thats why bodybuilders go in cycles... gaining mass/cutting fat.
there really is no easy answer to this. it depends on the individual, the daily caloric requirements of that individual, their body type, their metabolism, the amount of physical activity, the amount of exercise, the types of food you are eating, how often you are eating etc. thats why when people say "all you have to do is..." - its usually bad and wrong advice for most people.
