I understand everything you said about a caloric surplus and that there will likely be some excess fat gained along with all of the muscle. What are we supposed to do about that fat?
Once you’ve reached the above mentioned “I’ve gained as much excess fat as I’m going to allow” point, it’s time to switch from a muscle building phase (where your goal was gaining muscle while keeping fat gain to a minimum) into a fat loss phase (where your goal will be to lose fat while maintaining all of the muscle you just built). To do this you will keep everything nearly EXACTLY the same as it is during a muscle building phase, except with a few small changes: Here’s how… • Instead of being in a 250-500 calorie surplus, you need to be in a 250-500 calorie deficit. This should cause you to lose between 0.5 and 1 pound per week, which is the perfect slow weight loss rate when your goal is not just losing fat… but maintaining muscle. • This calorie reduction that brings you into a 250-500 calorie deficit should come from carbs (remove them from anywhere EXCEPT your pre and post workout meals). • If you end up having to reduce calories again to keep the fat loss going, make sure y
