If I was bulking at 3000 calories and am doing a 200-calorie mini cut to 2800, when I go back to eating more, I think my sweet spot is 2950. Can I just consistently hit 2950 calories on average each week and not have to worry about cutting or bulking?
Should I start a cut since it seems like my body has adapted to the 3000 calories after completing a bulk at 3000 calories for nine weeks, where I started at 232lbs, went to 238lbs in 5 weeks, and have stayed at 238lbs for the last 4 weeks? I was planning to cut to 2500 calories for 6 weeks, then have a week of maintenance, and then another 6-week cut. Is this a good approach?
I reverse dieted up to 3500 calories and have been eating at that level for 3 weeks. I'm now ready to transition into a cut. Is it a good idea to cut by 100 calories for a week and then 200 calories for another 2 weeks, making 3000 calories my new maintenance?
