For those who underwent anti-recomposition, the goal should be body recomposition, simultaneously gaining muscle and losing fat. To do this, first, set calories at about maintenance. For the macronutrients, set protein high ( g/lb BW), fat low (≤20% total calories), and carbs high (fill in the rest of the calories). Lastly, emphasize peak variables, such as protein timing (e.g. pre- and post-workout protein, and pre-sleep protein), protein distribution (meals no further than 4 hours apart), along with creatine supplementation. For pure muscle loss, we’ll be setting up an aggressive short-term bulk, until muscle size is regained. In terms of the specific macronutrient targets, aim for the same protein and fat intakes as the anti-recomposition diet, but bump carbohydrates up much higher. Lastly, for pure fat gain, we’ll run a mini-cut, entering a 20-25% caloric deficit and aiming for about one percent body weight loss per week. ------------------------------- SOURCES: Scientific References: Muscle Memory Body Recomposition Protein Carbohydrates and Fat Meal Timing and Distribution Creatine Regaining Too Quickly MUSIC Epidemic Sound ‣ Ryan Little - For Hyrule! ‣ Filmed and edited by me and Rashaun R using Final Cut Pro X and Sony A7R3 Rashaun's YouTube: ‣ ------------------------------- About me: I'm a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science.
