What r your stats and goals and how overweight do you think you are. I wouldnt bulk if i were over 25% bodyfat. You should work on establishing a good diet, something like 40%carbs 40%protein and 20% fat and keep your calories at 80% of daily maintenance,(see BMR calculators) and you WILL lose weight the right way without compromising lean muscle. Its not exact but try to take in at least 1g to 1.5g of protein for each lb of bodyweight. Do 3 full body workouts a week(monday,wednesday, friday) and cardio on your days off, and try to get leaner first. I think it makes more sense to try and give yourself the best starting point as possibe before starting a bulk. Just my 2 cents.
