Calorie deficit muscle growth?

[revempire]

I'm currently 185lb

I get at least 160 to 180 grams of protein per day

Calories are between 2000 and 2500 per day

lifting weights properly, is there anybody out there with my same body weight, protein intake, and calorie intake successfully building muscle?

Yes there are many people gaining significant muscle in a deficit. There are many studies showing it.

But those studies are in beginners and early intermediates. If your avi is your current body comp you may be beyond that stage. You might gain some strength in a deficit but any muscle gain probably won't be significant.

2000-2500 calories a day? Um you might want to get a more narrow gap in your daily calories
