In this episode, we host the first ever Reverse Diet Debate featuring Eric Helms + Menno Henselmans (against) vs. Layne Norton + Peter Fitschen (for). 

Topics covered include:

- Opening statements and rebuttals

- Defining "maintenance calories"
- How does reverse dieting work in the absence of changes in body composition?
- What are "adaptive metabolisms"?
- Ad libitum and intuitive eating approaches post-contest
- Can you diet on higher calories in prep after a successful reverse? Does it "carry over"? 
- What is the role of NEAT in reverse dieting and metabolic adaptation?
- Is there value in increasing calories in the off-season (not post show)?
