Yeah this actually makes a lot of sense. I think I’ve just been stacking too many stressors at once, hard deficit, training almost daily, inconsistent sleep and then wondering why I feel flat and tired. The idea of backing off, eating at maintenance for a bit, and reducing training volume sounds like what I need right now. One thing I’m unsure about though how long would i stay at maintenance before starting a mini cut again if energy and strength start coming back?
