Deload/ Refeed During a Cut

@T3hPwnisher

I do not feel you are understanding me.

On YOU, personally, what does 8% look like that 10% does not? Why are you aiming for a particular number vs a particular look? If your goal is “cut until I see ab veins”, then the bodyfat% is entirely inconsequential. In proof of concept, I have recently lost bodyfat until I could see quad veins, ab veins, lines in my shoulders, etc etc. I have NO idea what my bodyfat percentage is. I didn’t need to know it. Hell, I didn’t even know what my bodyWEIGHT was until I was done.

Ahh. I got it. In that case. I want to see veins and the strings on my chest. If that is on 9% for example. Than it is good too.

I am from holland. So i don’t always understand everything:p

But I am probably overthinking it.

I Am eating 100kcal surplus. I am a still losing weight. This is normal right? You made me a bit scared with your leukemia story…

I burn kcal with work and training and probably end up in a deficit. How much effect does a deload have when i am eating 100kcal surplus and lose weight. Does my body recover?

You are not eating a surplus if you are losing weight.

Yes i know. But. If i eat 400kcal surplus and burn 500 due work ect. I am still losing weight. So what is the point of eating at maintenance to recover if i am still in a deficit. This is something i dont get.

It is NOT a surplus if you are burning it. It is a deficit.

You are not eating at maintenance if you are losing weight: you are eating at a deficit.

Dude,

Maintenance is the amount of calories you eat to not lose or gain weight. That is maintenance. If you are losing weight, you are NOT eating at maintenance: you are eating at a deficit. If you gain weight, you are eating at a surplus.

Yes i know. I’ll have to calculate my maintenance again. Thanks

Just add say 200kcal a day until you stop losing weight.
