Hello everyone, doing my first reverse diet after a short cut, and it is going well but I could use some advice on whether I need to increase calories right now, and how I should transition into a lean bulk over the next month. Here is my weight/calories consumed/cardio performed over my cut and reverse diet.
Starting weight: 200.5 lbs
Week: Avg Weight: Calories/day: Cardio/week (fasted LISS):
Week 1 197.0 2300 420 min
Week 2 195.2 2300 390 min
Week 3 193.1 2300 400 min
Week 4 190.9 2300 300 min
Week 5 190.7 2600 320 min
Week 6 191.7 2700 200 min
Week 7 190.7 2700 210 min
Week 8 190.2 2700 200 min
I'm thinking I need to increase calories again(by 100 next week), but would like others advice. My plan is to start lean bulking in February at a 300-400 calorie daily surplus. Should I start increasing calories by 100 every week to slowly ease into it? Or just jump right into a 300-400 calorie surplus at the beginning of February? My goal is to stay lean and keep fat gain to a minimum, thank you in advance for any replies!
