Body Recomposition
Simultaneously losing body fat while gaining muscle mass, changing body composition without dramatic weight change.
Detailed Explanation
Body recomposition (recomp) is the process of losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time. While the scale may not change dramatically, body measurements, appearance, and strength improve significantly. It works best for beginners, overweight individuals starting training, and those returning after a break. The approach involves eating at or near maintenance calories, consuming high protein (1g per pound of bodyweight), and following a structured resistance training program.
