I’m currently cutting from a bulk (bulk = ~3,500 calories a day, cut = ~2,000 calories a day, both 40% protein / 30% carbs / 30% fat). I have don’t as little cardio as possible during the bulk as well as the cut I’m currently on.
I want to maintain my weight, but I want to get back into sports. ~12 hours a week playing and practicing sports is what I expect to be doing.
What caloric intake should I have to maintain my final weight (195 lbs), and what adjusments should I make to my diet?
While we’re at it should we program out your in-season training and put together a comprehensive supplement list?
Read on the site, use basic common sense.
If you’re going to increase your workload significantly, then up your calories. If you are still losing weight in-season, you guess it, up your calories more. It’s not a hard concept. No one is going to be able to tell you a calorie level here that isn’t anything more than a guess.

If I wanted a whole training routine, then I would have posted this in “Training”.
I want to know what adjustments are typical. Does one up their protein, but lower their carbs/fats? Does one just add 500 calories from their BMR when doing a certain amount of hours of cardio, then take measurements every week and adjust from there?
