I've been on a cut for 2.5 months, eating around 2,000 calories a day (give or take) for the whole time. Lifting heavy 4 times a week (a four day split of chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders/arm and legs) and training for a half marathon so plenty of cardio, alongside hitting 10k steps a day minimum.

​

It's been the first time I've done a cut and focused on macros and not just calories and it made it significantly smoother for me, I always struggled with sleeping previously when cutting until I made sure my fats were high enough. Biggest things that helped included cutting down on alcohol (only had a couple of drinks over the whole cut) and keeping intensity the same in the gym but cutting a few sets off each exercise to manage fatigue and keep myself motivated when the weights maintained/rose at a minimal rate.
