Eating at maintenance for body recomposition is a complete joke

[audimax]

Lately youtubers like vitruvianphysique, Jeff Nippard etc recommended to stop bulking/cutting and instead opting for body recomposition. I tried it out and guess what, zero results. In addition to that, because I already use a TRT dose, I used a cruise/lose dose cycle (250mg Test a week) for 8 weeks and literally no fucking difference. And yes I did train hard.

Unsurprisingly, when I started to add caloric suprlus to bulk I gained muscle fast again and when I lowered caloric intake I lose fat again.

"Just eat healthy and dont diet" is a joke, stick to the good old cutting/ lean bulking

imagine eating more than 500 calories a day and expecting not to be subhuman

How do you deal with bulking bloat? I realize that whenever I start increasing calories, i start to get a bit puffier in the arms and abdomen.

Bro i have the same problem but in the face. Just try to drink enough and eat less salt.

you realise you don't have to add 500 calories? You can add 100-250

i am at about 300 below maintenance rn to cut. Adjusted the macros so I eat more protein than carbs as well. Hopefully it goes well

and experiment on what works best

inevitable. it’ll always happen because youre putting more food into your body which increases salt and other shit therefore you get bloated - you’d have yo drink X times more water than you eat
