Body Recomp: Training and Diet?

Training
1

Posted in the “beginner” section as I’m highly de-trained (2 years of not training)

20lbs lighter and fatter, I want to try recomposition (slower results are good enough to me as I just want to look good this summer).

As a routine I will follow a basic U / L: Lyle’s GBR.

As a diet I don’t know how it works. Maintenance calories or a slight deficit?

Try the old 5-2.

Start with “Maintenance” calories five days per week. And then the day of your Toughest workout and the following day eat a slight surplus for recovery.

So that’s five days of "lower"calories and 2 days of “higher” calories.

Try that for 6 weeks and see what kind of results you are getting.
