Welcome to your Muscle + Metabolic Build phase. 💪🏼
We’re stepping away from eating less and focusing on building your metabolic capacity, fueling your training, and getting stronger. We’ll start by strategically increasing calories toward a true maintenance (a reverse diet). From there, we can move into a small surplus and spend intentional time building muscle.
The goal is to get your body comfortable handling MORE: more food, more fuel, more training + more muscle — so you’re not continuously trying to make progress by eating less.
And if fat loss is a future goal, you’ll be going into it with more muscle to reveal and a higher-calorie starting point to work from. That’s a much better place to diet from.
