Eat at maintenance and lift?

Same problem. I say just cut as much as possinle. Hit skinny mode then bulk from there. Seems like the only way

Eat enough protein to maintain/grow your current muscle (1-1.25g per lb of body weight) keep lifting and do daily cardio of at least 25mins. As long as you eat at maintenance or a calorie deficit than you will lose mostly body fat while keeping most muscle.

You haven't been lifting long enough to worry about bulking or cutting, eat healthy and lift regularly, analyse your form, activation and progression, not your intake and appearance, it will come with time.

You need to actually have muscles before you worry about losing them.

What would you say to a fat person though?

If OP just eats the same amount and lift he will make no gains, if he eats a surplus he will just get fat as fuck.

Surely it is better to get lean then slowly bulk.

Exactly what I'm saying.

>>38770568
Nope Id still say the same thing. Peoples perception of nutrition is really exaggerated, if you lift consistently, sleep and eat well and include meat with most meals you'll be fine, just probably won't gain as fast as someone on a dedicated bulk.

But the guy is already 20+% bf, he will just be fat even if he eats at maintenance.

If he manages to get his calorie intake perfect he might recomp, but it will take years.
