Macros — Building Maintenance Skills

Written By Kevin Morrison

You can't be in a cut or bulk forever.
Learning how to maintain is a critical phase for long-term success.

✅ What Maintenance Looks Like:

  • Calories = Maintenance intake

  • Macros = Balanced

  • Focus on consistency, not perfection

  • Allows body composition to solidify and hormones to reset

✅ Skills to Practice During Maintenance:

  • Portion awareness without tracking every bite

  • Adjusting intake slightly based on hunger and activity

  • Mindful eating habits (eating to 80% full)

🚫 Common Mistakes:

  • 🚫 Thinking "maintenance" = "stop training hard"

  • 🚫 Mindless overeating because the goal isn’t as clear
