Here is a good one from 2022: Energy deficiency impairs resistance training gains in lean mass but not strength: A meta-analysis and meta-regression - PubMedHi boi,a friend asked me recently if it was possible to gain muscle in caloric deficit,he asked for "studies"do you have some to link me so i can send him?
You can eat at maintenance and recomp, so you don't need to be in a deficit to lose fat. The energy required for growth or acquired from adipose tissue. But this approach takes a long time though.
