I just started a little cutting diet for the summer. I'm 210 pounds at around 11% bf. My maintenance calories are around 3250. I'm using a 4 day split and I do my cardio fasted in the morning on my 3 non workout days. I'm creating a 500-600 a day caloric deficit, so on my workout days I'm trying to take in around 2600-2700 cals. My question is, on my off days, how much lower should I take my calories than my workout days? I'm thinking I should lower it by a few hundred to make up for not lifting. I know that you're body is recovering on off days but if I'm taking in an excess amount of calories on off days even if I need them to recover I'm still going to be in a lower caloric deficit, right? Any advice is appreciated!
