Does Adam Schafer advocate for taking in a slight surplus, building muscle, and then increasing calories again when weight levels out or starts going down in the episode "Change HOW You Look With HOW You Work Out | Mind Pump 2396" and the clip "Reverse Dieting Insights"? If yes, how many calories should be in the surplus?
Am I on the right track if I keep bumping my calories by 100 until I hit 3300 calories, and then cut back 100 calories every three weeks to make my new maintenance level 3000 calories, if I'm currently at 2900 calories, have lost 2 pounds, and my muscles look more defined while reverse dieting from 2800 calories to 3300 calories? This is based on the discussions in the episodes The Power of Training For Longevity, Performance, & Aesthetics | Mind Pump 2361 and Building Muscle Mindfully, as well as the episodes Protect and Enhance Your Brain Health | Mind Pump 2393 and Breaking Through Plateaus.
