Micro‑Periodized Energy & Macronutrient Cycling Outperforms a Static Caloric Surplus for Hypertrophy While Halving Fat Gain: A Systematic Review and Meta‑Analysis
Description: This project is a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the effects of micro-periodized energy/macronutrient cycling (μEMC) compared with continuous caloric surplus on body composition outcomes (fat-free mass and fat mass) in resistance-trained adults. It includes data extraction tables, risk-of-bias assessment, and statistical analysis scripts (e.g., meta_analysis.py). The project aims to provide evidence-based insights into nutritional strategies for optimizing hypertrophy while minimizing fat gain.
