The quicker you can transition and get in a rhythm with your new dieting phase, the sooner you can start devoting energy to things NOT related to “what am I going to eat today?”. These subtle transitions make for easy, actionable tweaks to a current meal “template” that will take most of the stress out of the equation. One key□ to help with this is to make the phases not appear ALL that different from the previous. ![]() PRIORITY SCALE SHIFT: how do certain food groups take more or less of a priority when changing phases? PHASE POTENTIATION: how cutting/bulking phases set each other up SMOOTH TRANSITIONS: why is this so important? In the rest of this piece I will talk about: You don’t need to track your food for it to have a caloric value and macronutrient composition. This TOOL is also useful for someone who does not track macros AT ALL! Adjusting meal plans or templates to go from cutting-maintenance-bulking can get you the same results as tracking macros. So the problem becomes that while you may know how to adjust the numbers, you also need to know how to change your meals. Macros are actual MEALS that you will eat throughout the day. While the main difference between these phases will be your MACROS going up or down, we must remember that Macros are NOT just numbers In my experience, one of the most important dieting tools is the knowledge of how to seamlessly transition from one phase to another. ![]() While training can slightly differ between the three phases, the main difference is obviously your NUTRITIONAL INTAKE.
