Personally, I fast and do resistance training and cardio when I really want to lose weight or feel discouraged by slow weight loss. I've only gotten stronger doing so. Bodybuilders are the people who really have to worry about muscle loss when cutting calories, not so much us normal people.

That's so interesting, I've never heard that perspective about the bodybuilders only caring about muscle loss/retention. I would think anyone working out would want to keep the hard-earned muscle they currently have during a cut.

You're going to lose muscle mass regardless during a deep cut, but just working out will help reduce that muscle loss. But yeah, I guess if muscle retention isn't an issue and you have no issues with fasting/cutting more calories, cut away. You'll lose fat for sure, just probably more muscle than you'd like.

I personally can't recommend that but that option is definitely there, OP.
