It is simple!
Adjust your calories needs to meet your current activity levels
Okay Okay, all I am saying is you need to eat at a maintenance level. With an experienced lifter, You can only add muscle in a calorie surplus.

When you feel you are content with your body:
- Figure out maintenance calories using a tdee calculator - TDEE Calculator: Learn Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure
- Keep your protein to 0.6g - 0.8g per lb of body weight, fats around 0.4g per lb of body weight and full in the remainder with some nutritious carbs.
- You can also scale back you workouts to 3 days a week but always keep the intensity. If you don’t use you lose it.
