Gym on Yik Yak | 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

Fat can’t be broken down to create muscle. Muscle comes from proteins, which are made up of amino acids. Fat is made up of hydrocarbons. These are not the same. Your body will break down fat as energy IF there are no available macros in your digestive tract to break down, but it only uses the fat as (emergency) energy. A caloric surplus is absolutely necessary to build protein even if you are only eating protein since your body will use protein as energy (not building blocks for muscle) if it

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

Needs energy. It will ONLY use the protein for muscle synthesis IF in a caloric surplus (musts for basic bodily functions are met).

You're not understanding at all. Yes protein is required to build muscle. A daily caloric surplus is not. If you get enough protein (which most people do) your body can use stored fat to fuel muscle protein synthesis. Not that complex
