I have made a solid transformation over the last year. I started at 182 lbs at 15% body fat in April and am now down to 171 lbs at 9.5% body fat in October. I achieved this through a long-duration cut over that period. Over the last couple of months, I have increased my calories from 2100 to 2500 and have reached 178 lbs at 9.2% body fat, with a slight decrease in body fat percentage. I’m worried that I am nearing the end of being in the miracle zone of reducing fat while building muscle and I'm curious if I should go back onto my cut. Should I continue increasing calories or go back onto my cut?
If my goal is to see more muscle definition and lean out slightly, can I drop my maintenance from 2900 calories to 2800 calories and stay at 2800 calories until I lean out, and then keep my maintenance at 2800 calories?
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?
