Thanks, man. Do you have a muscle-building program you'd recommend for someone my level? Also any recommendations for cutting down while keeping muscle would be appreciated. I'm following a basic routine and eating about 1g/lb of protein per day rn.
Nah just start lifting you don't don't need to worry about all the specifics. Just look up how to lift weights for muscle growth and choose some exercises that you're able to do. To cut while not losing muscle mass you can't be in too much of a caloric deficit. I'd say no more than 300-400 calories a day for lean guys like us. Also you have to keep your protein higher than usual. I'd say aim for 0.6-0.7 g/lb of bw. If you've never dieted before you will suffer it helps to eat low calorie dense foods like fruits and vegetables they will fill your stomach while not making you gain weight. Eat watermelon, apples, strawberries, oatmeal, and cook a dish with vegetables in the evening you'll be good to go
