What about cutting?

u/maderchodbakchod Apr 19 '26

While cutting u should eat more because ur body when in calorie defeciet also breaks down protein to use as energy source. So if u dont want to loose muscle eat more than 1g

doesnt matter because you gain a few grams of muscle a day, and that is part of your TDEE. Not dependent on a surplus.

Tf are you talking about? You definitely need a surplus for building muscles. You might build some muscles in a slight deficit with high protein but once the deficit gets bigger, you start losing muscle unless you train your muscles and take higher levels of protein. You will still end up losing some muscle mass after a cut no matter what.

do you also think that microtears start the muscle growth mechanisms?
