After a long hiatus, I'm ready to start hitting the gym again. About 6 months ago, I was at about 195 lbs and was lean and strong. Since then, I haven't been working out or eating particularly well. I'm down around 170 lbs now and have softened a bit. I was wondering if I should first go into a caloric deficit to try and cut down on fat and then up the calories to start putting on lean mass. Any advice is appreciated.
I was thinking about maybe cutting out 20% or so off my caloric intake for a month and then upping it to try and climb back towards my ideal size. I'm probably going to do a 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat breakdown.
