A competitor shares their struggle with uncontrollable overeating after competition prep, especially when transitioning to a reverse diet.

This perspective can help manage the urge to overindulge while still achieving fitness goals.In this clip

I have a question about this episode Focus On Doing THIS To Prevent OVEREATING & Achieve WEIGHT LOSS Goals | Mind Pump 1919 and this clip Cutting and Body Image. I was running a bulk in the 3900 calorie range for a month or two, but I found that I was gaining more fat than I should have, so I reduced my intake to 3000 calories. The scale hasn't changed much, and I am curious if I should just continue at 3000 calories or cut even lower.
If I just came out of a show and started eating a surplus of calories, should I go to maintenance and start a bulking phase, or go back down to the calories I was eating and slowly go into maintenance?
If I'm going into a bulk or reverse dieting, how much and how often should I increase calories?
