> Still find it hilarious how so many people still don't understand that a caloric deficit or surplus is the #1 thing to do when trying to cut or bulk.
Don't you think that there's more to human nutrition than "cut" or "bulk"?
Of course there is, but getting your priorities wrong is counter productive. Set the calories first based on your goal to cut/maintain/bulk, then you automatically figure out that junk food is a calorie thief and unconsciously start eating quality food, then you start adjusting your macros for body recomposition and the list goes on forever. Calories are #1 though.
I workout, I do my best to keep my nutrition in order, but I think cut/maintain/bulk are the wrong priorities. It's just the Internet fitness community thing; it's not wrong per se but implies a focus on what is less relevant.
The priority should be your health, and I always saw nutrition and health professionals advocating diversity. Focusing on calorie balance almost always overlooks this.
