    You may see Newbie gains...you may not. Difficult at calorie deficit but not impossible.
    Up the calories when you like how you look. May be a balance between an actual number on the scale, or how clothes fit, how you look in the mirror etc.
    Not uncommon to reach a goal and then say "hey...i can stand to lose a few more".

    I am always playing between trying to build muscle and trying to look skinny so I think I know what you are saying.
