Query about recomp?

dave_in_ni

Been doing a bit of reading about recomp, first rule seems to be slight surplus on training days, deficit on rest days. Now my issue is I do PPL 6 days per week. So how would I get around that? Just 1 day in a deficit seems pointless.

You can recomp on maintenance every day.

Maintenance is fine

Recomp is just training and your body changing over time because of that training. We used to call it getting in shape.

You don't need to be a deficit any day of the week.

This ^ while at maintenance calorie wise overall. Whether you do surplus on training days and deficit on others or just maintenance eating overall makes little difference.

No you don't need to calorie cycle or eat at a surplus on training days.
That's normally stated by people with a program to sell or badly misguided ideas about physiology.

You do realise that people gain muscle / lose fat without calorie counting?
It's what people have been doing for generations.
