Transitioning from Bulking to Cutting: A Nutritional Guide
The transition from bulking to cutting requires a strategic shift in nutrition.
To begin a cut:
  • Gradually reduce your caloric intake, creating a deficit of 300-500 calories below your new TDEE (which will be higher due to increased muscle mass).
  • Keep protein high (2.0-2.5g/kg BW) to preserve muscle mass during fat loss.
  • Strategically reduce carbohydrates and fats.
  • Maintain adequate hydration and micronutrient intake.
A slow, controlled transition is usually best.
