I don't think people understand caloric surpluses as well as they think. You don't need to be in a daily caloric surplus to put on muscle. You have bodyfat stored on your body. That's your caloric surplus to fuel muscle protein synthesis

Our bodies aren't as "locked into routine" as our brains. We tend to this so much on day-to-day and week-to-week. But we get hungry throughout the day, even if over the whole day we're in a surplus. Our metabolism is a constant thing. It doesn't reset at midnight. The idea that a present tense caloric surplus is needed for muscle growth is just not the case
