Yellow snow I couldn't have said it better and was the point I was trying to make but can't in such short sentences great post. In a cut for competition or I guess if your vain like most of us really are you use gear to lower your calories drastically to lose the extra lbs but try to maintain as much muscle as possible and stay shredded and some things are very good at doing this but I use these samw things when I'm working to add size. The whole point is always stay lean. No we can't always stay co petition lean and many of us aren't ever go I g to get to that place but you never want to bluk in the sense of gain excess fat then cut down it makes no sense you eat based on your body type or metabolism. Mine is fast, always has been always player sports and very active so I would have to eat 4000 to 6000 cals with a large amount of protein to build lean mass and size. At 6 foot and actually just slightly over and only weighing between 225 and 235 depending, which I never like to go over personally its just where I'm comfortable and look good and feel good but people will always say you up to to 250 now. Nope never will be again at my height I think for some its fine but 225 and 235 sounds skinny to a lot if guys who are 5'6 5'8 5'10 but trust me, I'm cut and vascular as F. It makes me look big and I feel great besides I don't care what anyone thinks of my weight. I could maintain this size with no gear and did for two years just on TRT but I had a total test of 93 and they didn't bother with free test , smh. But what I'm saying is if you are getting fat on gear you are doing something wrong you should be lean and growing. I've been at it for years and been up to almost 260 I think I was 258 or 259 I hated it. So I'm good at 225 to 235. 10 lbs is huge when its all solid mass. Eat based on your body and as noted cutting is for eating very low cals for comp and trying to retain muscle mass. Most guys starting out would be amazed at how different they would look if they trained hard and right, dropped the sodium and soda. Sodium only holds water. That's why ppl can drop 10 lbs in a matter of days cut the sodium they lose the water its a miracle.
