What the cut or bulk calculator preview can tell you
Combine a photo-based physique read with your goal, training history, and recent trend to get one practical starting recommendation and a date to reassess it.
01
Seven steps from photo to plan
Upload photos, review the physique context, add what a photo cannot know, receive one recommendation, read the reasoning, start with conservative numbers when profile details are available, and reassess against your real trend.
02
Am I skinny fat, and should I cut or bulk?
When body weight is normal or low but visible muscle is limited and the midsection remains soft, recomp is often the practical start. That is a pattern-based suggestion, not a diagnosis or a rule for every person.
03
What the cut or bulk calculator preview can tell you
The cut or bulk calculator preview uses the body-fat estimate, training experience, goal, and weight trend you enter; it does not read a photo. The result names the available signals and what could change the call. It never claims one phase is objectively correct or that a single photo has read your health.

Am I skinny fat, and should I cut or bulk?
A useful cut-or-bulk decision combines estimated body-fat range, visible muscle development, training experience, recent weight trend, and your goal. LeanLens uses those signals to suggest a conservative starting phase—cut, recomp, or lean bulk—then explains what would change the recommendation.

FAQ
Fair questions.
A newer lifter with limited muscle and a stable weight trend may consider recomp. Someone prioritizing fat loss may consider a conservative cut, while an experienced leaner lifter seeking more muscle may consider a lean bulk. These are illustrative scenarios, not fixed thresholds: the preview uses the body-fat estimate, experience, goal and trend you enter, not an uploaded photo.
It depends on body-fat context, muscle development, goals, and recent trend. Many newer lifters in the middle range can begin with recomp.
Body recomposition aims to build muscle while gradually reducing fat, usually around maintenance calories with progressive training and sufficient protein.
A photo supplies physique context, but your goal, history, trend, and profile details are also needed for a responsible recommendation.
A six-to-eight-week trend is usually more informative than reacting to day-to-day weight or a single photo.
No. It offers general fitness guidance and conservative starting context, not medical or dietetic care.
