Cut, Bulk, or Recomp?

Body composition signals, physique goals, and photo trends can help choose a cut, bulk, or recomp without chasing one noisy metric or daily swing.

Most people get stuck because they’re trying to do everything at once:

  • lose fat fast
  • gain muscle fast
  • feel amazing daily

Pick one primary goal for the next block. LeanLens helps you choose a direction based on your estimate.


The three phases (simple version)

Cut

Best when you’re above your comfortable range and want definition.

Recomp

Best when you’re in a solid middle range and can improve muscle-to-fat contrast with consistency.

Lean bulk

Best when you’re already lean enough that adding muscle gives the best payoff.


How to use the recommendation (without overreacting)

Treat it like a suggestion, not a command:

  • If your week was chaotic, clean up the week first.
  • If your photos were inconsistent, fix photos before changing strategy.
  • If the recommendation matches what you already suspected, great—commit for 2–4 weeks.

Nutrition targets (keep it boring)

LeanLens can surface practical targets (like maintenance calories or protein-forward structure) based on your context.


Limitations

All recommendations depend on the quality of inputs. If you want the best signal, keep photos consistent and compare over time.
