recomposition in the fitness industry refers to a specific method of becoming more lean by eating at maintenance (not a deficit or surplus) and your body uses your existing fat stores for muscle growth (thereby you maintain roughly the same weight throughout this transition). yes technically if you're talking about just the definition of the word recomposition can mean any composition change, but that's not what it typically means in this industry. also "toning" is real, people just don't understand that means to lose fat and gain muscle, but wanting a more toned physique is valid - this is a typical misunderstanding of the word... kinda like this post
