    Recomp actually means not losing weight - so you are eating at maintenance, no deficit.

    You'll find that many here start out with recomp because they are resetting, which means eating at maintenance.

    If in calorie deficit - you may be ever so slowly gaining some muscle while losing fat - but mainly keeping what you got.
