You're right: this is the exact order they stand in in terms of weight loss. You can still build muscles while being fat, though, so if your point is muscles rather than weight loss, the priority list changes.

Even then, I'd argue that eating healthy is important. If you care about the muscles you have but not the beer belly or fat pockets, why do you do it anyway? Caring about oneself is not a selective activity: if you opt to care - care for the whole thing, or you're already failing yourself more than you can repair for.
