The three main phases in bodybuilding/weightlifting are bulking, cutting, and maintenance.
1) BULKING: The phase of muscular increase is called bulking. For a predetermined amount of time, usually 4-6 months, you're supposed to purposefully consume more calories than your body requires.
It often describes a gradual rise in the number of calories consumed over and above what your body requires, combined with rigorous weight exercise. _______________________________________________________________________
2): CUTTING: Cutting, also known as the "fat loss phase," is the process of gradually reducing caloric intake while increasing aerobic exercise in order to shed extra body fat gained during the bulking phase and improve muscle definition.
They consume fewer calories than their bodies need during this phase, which hinders their ability to gain muscle. In general, this phase's objective is to preserve existing muscle mass rather than add to it.

3) MAINTENANCE: Maintaining your training involves giving your body enough of a training stimulus to prevent either muscular gain or loss. You will try to maintain your body weight during this phase. The body might then establish its "new normal" as a result. It will therefore preserve the muscle you added during the bulk phase.
Down below are some examples of nutrition diets for each phase.
