For those of you who have run recomp cycles successfully, how did your maintenance calories change after the cycle was over?
I have done hard bulks before (6 weeks of DMZ at 60mg) and gained ~16 pounds, and experienced an increase in my calories of around 800. assuming a gain of 15% fat, thats ~13.5 lean pounds. 800/13.5 = 60 calories increase for each pound of LBM.
In a recomp, you're typically eating at or very close to maintenance, but still experience a decent amount of LBM gain. did you notice similar increases in your maintenance calories?
basically just interested if LBM gain + caloric surplus results in more calorie increase vs LBM gain + calorie deficit
