Hi everyone I'm a 19-year-old college soccer player who is 6'0 and weighs 180 pounds. I'm looking to undergo body recomp as I need to stay lean year-round but I am looking to add a bit of lean muscle while losing a slight bit of fat. I am a bit confused on what I should do in regards to calories. I have done lots of reading and have read that you should eat around 150 calories under your maintenance calories but lots of protein and then I have heard that you need to eat around 200-300 calories over your maintenance in order for you to gain muscle. Is there an amount that I should be eating to achieve both? I am using a PPL split so I am lifting 6 days a week with one rest day. I heard about calorie cycling but it doesn't seem like it would work well with me lifting 6 days a week.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips that would be awesome!
Thank You

Best to post a pic of yourself for better advice. Recomp CAN work in some instances and sometimes it may not be the best direction so a pic helps.Originally Posted by mpdieb

I personally would eat 500 calories less than baseline and add cardio 3 times a week and up the intensity of weights slightly
