Metabolism and Cutting
Building metabolism is crucial before considering a cut. A balanced approach involves alternating between cutting and bulking phases, with a suggested ratio of three to four weeks of cutting followed by a week of bulking. The focus should always be on muscle preservation, regardless of the goal, whether it's cutting or bulking. Understanding your body fat percentage and caloric intake is essential for tailoring your strategy effectively.In this clip

I am about to do the RGB bundle (31 weeks total: 9 weeks in Anabolic, 12 weeks in Performance, and 10 weeks in Aesthetic) and would like to lose body fat (male, 5'10", 190-195 lb at 22-23% body fat) while simultaneously pushing my maintenance calories from 2400 to 3000. How can I use mini cuts and mini bulks through these programs to reach these goals or be on the way to reaching them? Can you provide a table?
If I was maintaining at 2850 calories and started a bulk at 3000 calories, gaining 2 pounds over the 3-week bulk period, should I run a mini cut from 3000 to 2900 calories, or should I go back to my maintenance of 2850 calories for a week and then back to 3000 calories if I'm wanting to gain but minimize fat gain?
I'm a 30-year-old male, 5'10", around 195 pounds, and 23-24% body fat. My current maintenance calories are 2400. Should I reverse diet up to 3000 calories or cut my body fat to the teens first? I want to be leaner by the summer, but I don’t want to sacrifice my metabolism either. I’ll be doing the RGB program in order.
