    But, you can gain muscle mass by adding back the calories back, can you not?

    Yes, but when you add muscle you also add fat.

    It is actually much easier to maintain the muscle you already have than it is to build new muscle

    Agreed. When I was in my early 20s I aggressively cut from about 215 to 163 in about 7 months. I looked at myself in pictures and looked borderline emaciated.

    It took me over 2 years to build myself back up to 175 and then recomp down to about 170ish.

    If I would have done it right the first time I would have seen the esthetic results I was after at least a year earlier, if not more and wouldn't have needed the excruciating work of putting the muscle back on.
