How to escape "skinny fat" and build muscle in 4 steps

If you want to escape "skinny fat", here's the 4 steps that helped me go from skinny fat to muscular in just a year.

Find your maintenance calories: Use this calculator.
Pick a direction: Go on a lean bulk (+200 your maintenace calories), or recomp (eat at your maintenance)
Eat enough protein: Take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 0.8. That's how many grams you should eat per day to build muscle.
Perform progressive overload: As you get stronger, increase the weight or reps of your movement over time

That's literally it. Be consistent, and the gains will come FAST in 2024.
