More protein and eating past fullness vs. listening to hunger cues

I’m aiming for body recomp and feel like there are some conflicting opinions when it comes to food! I know I need to eat a surplus of protein (the 1g per pound of body weight) but I’ve heard a couple of nutritionists stress the importance of stopping eating when you’re satiated or at 80% full in order to lose weight so I’m wondering - do you eat past the point of fullness to reach a protein goal or stop eating when you’re full? I can’t find info on this ANYWHERE and I’m going crazy!

Just started the 12-week program Didn’t quite felt my chest on the push day Should I just put more weight or add one more exercise for the chest?

Magnesium spray

Someone told me I should get magnesium spray and put it on my feet instead of taking a supplement orally. This sounds crazy to me and I'm wondering if you have had a look at the research because it is hard for me to interpret.

Progression on certain exercises

Is it normal that there are some exercises i just dont increase weight on easily, like RDLs or shoulder press. Is that normal? Does this mean im not progressing? Or how do i know if i am or not?

Cut and Bulk

Do i really have to cut or bulk to make progress? Can i build muscle at all at a slight deficit? If im gaining strength at the gym, does this mean im building muscle even though its not as obvious physically?
