I'm at about 20% bodyfat right now I trained for about 2 months prior than had to stop (football, school, I had no time at all. All I've done is cut (from like 35% bodyfat) should I eat maintance calories? If I do that will I be able to lower bodyfat percentage (from muscle gained) and gain muscle? Pretty much a body recomp. Is it a good idea? Or should I continue cutting?

Thanks,
mike

Heres how i do it: keep cutting until you feel happy with the results aka taking your shirt off in front of gals(confidently and figure out what weak areas you may have(all do), this is then followed by a bulking cycle make it lean!Emphazing your weak points, also working others. Furthermore this is followed by another cut and finished with a recomp. Thus starting the cycle all over again whether you start with bulking or cutting you cycle should look somewhat similar(as everyone has their opinions/views and training methods). Hope this helped! Good Luck!

HOLY $hit man
Not to be mean are you on a lean bulk thats alot of carbs while cutting not to mention the fact that you need to be in a calorie DEFICEIT at the end of the day. Try revising lol you must be cranking the cardio and killing the weights to have a diet like this...while cutting WAY TO MUCH FOOD,throw some broccolli and for carbs try quinoa like rice for an excellent carb source(fortified with all essintial amino acids) just a few suggestions and my 2 cents feel free to update your meal plan.

What kind of creatine are you taking?

[LetFireFall]

168g of carbs is alot? I was told under 1 gram of carbs per pound of bodyweight on a cut. I am in deficit my maintance is 3500, it's german miscronized creatine.

[boxmeman]

Id go for something with less of a bloat i refuse to do reg mono or even micronized creatine as i am not on creatine now,i may be in the future i rcommend clout by man, green mag by controlled labs, neovar by AP or kre alakalyn

[LetFireFall]

I did a "cycle" of creatine mono before, not miscronised and never got the bloat that I've heard about.

If 168g of carbs is too much how many should I eat in a day?

[LetFireFall]

Also I hit the weights 3 times a week right now, deciding between an oly lifting program versus bill stars 5x5 program.

I do cardio after every workout and on the weekends I ski for about 12 hours total which is a **** load of calories burned.
