Listener question as a follow up on the Bulking Cutting and Maintenance seasons episode - what do I look at for calories during these times?

Coach Kinsley and Producer Mike focus on the three seasons of fitness: bulking, cutting, and maintenance. They discuss the intricacies of each phase, emphasizing their cyclical nature for those focused on aesthetics and physical appearance. Bulking is described as the preparation phase, involving a caloric surplus with a focus on protein intake and muscle-building exercises. Cutting follows, requiring a caloric deficit while maintaining high protein intake to preserve muscle mass. They also cover the maintenance phase, where individuals aim to sustain the muscle gained during bulking and the fat loss achieved during cutting. Throughout the discussion, Coach Kinsley provides insights on nutrition, including the difference between clean and dirty bulking, and explains various cardio training zones for effective fat loss. The conversation is interspersed with personal anecdotes, including Producer Mike's upcoming photo shoot and his decision to incorporate fish into his diet. The podcast offers valuable information for fitness enthusiasts looking to understand and implement these cyclical training phases effectively.
