A phase focused on reducing body fat through a sustained calorie deficit while trying to retain muscle.
Why Cutting matters
A sensible cut keeps resistance training and protein in place while using a manageable rate of loss.
A practical example
Reducing average intake modestly and reviewing weekly weight and waist trends.
Common mistake
Cutting calories aggressively and removing entire food groups without need.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
