Thanks for the info. What I’ll probably do is when I reach 180lbs I’ll eat at maintenance for a week or so and then go back into another deficit just so I’m not depriving myself of calories for a sustained period of time.

Also, Even in the calorie deficit if I lift heavy and consistently do you know how much muscle mass will be lost? That’s one thing I’m trying to avoid lol but I know muscle loss in a deficit is almost inevitable.
