Hi Sai! Such a great question. This is going to be largely dependent on the individual and many factors such as duration of prep, how low did calories get, metabolism, timeline of improvement season/next shows, biofeedback, body's response etc. All of my athletes respond differently and have individualized approaches! The goal would be to keep body composition in a good place while slowly bringing up food & decreasing expenditure. Optimizing health first & foremost!
