Hi guys, after a bit of a layoff I have started getting back to the gym and am enjoying it at the moment. Going through those early weeks where every new workout beats the last. As I start to plateau I am thinking I will have a deload week before trying to progress further.
My question is about diet. What do you do macro and calorie wise during a deload week. If I am lifting with maybe 60% of my usual weight or even taking more days off do I still eat the same or would you normally cut calories due to less energy and stimulus?
