When trimming down, the goal is losing fat, not muscle. Let's see how to achieve body recomposition.
🏋️♂️ 1. Lift Heavy and Train Hard
Do not switch to ultra-light weights. Hard lifting signals your brain that muscle tissue is vital, preventing the body from catabolizing it for energy.
🍳 2. High Protein Intake & Gentle Deficit
Aim for 2.0g of protein per kg of bodyweight. Maintain a moderate calorie deficit. Use CalorIA to visually track macros and ensure you hit your protein goals daily.
