This article conducts a critical review of nutritional periodization strategies applied to body recomposition, emphasizing the physiological mechanisms governing myofibrillar protein synthesis and lipolysis. In a scenario where obesity and sarcopenia coexist, it becomes imperative to understand how macronutrient manipulation can optimize the anabolic hormonal environment without compromising lipid oxidation. The role of energy availability, nutrient timing, and the influence of insulin sensitivity on the adaptive response to resistance training are discussed. The analysis delves into the biochemistry of energy substrates and cell signaling, concluding that evidence-based dietary individualization is superior to generalist approaches for high performance and body aesthetics.
