Calories during pct after a cut?

[Slapoyjoe]

I’m nearing the end of an S4, Ostarine, + GW cutting cycle. It’s been great.

I’m down to 11% bf, 194 pounds at 2150 cals a day with high protein.

What do you guys do for calories after a cutting cycle? I was thinking maintenance macros until after vacation. What do you guys do?

Your advice is appreciated.

Reverse diet to maintanence is my preferred method. Only times I dont reverse diet out of a cut is when Im following it by using Sdrol or var. Which is obviously quite different to your situation lol

When do you start increasing the calories , right after the cycle? And how many calories a week do you typically increase by?

Perfect advice, here is a great article on reverse dieting.

Progressive overload applies to dieting. Just like with lifting, gradual increases in calories will help you take control of your gains without gaining excess fat.

If you've been dieting you shouldn't start a traditional bulk. Hitting your body with excess calories after being in a caloric deficit will lead to fat gain.

The body wants to maintain homeostasis. So fast increases or decreases in calories will cause problems.

Use reverse dieting to build muscle. Whether you're starting from maintenance or from a diet, you can increase your food intake to build muscle, not fat.
