no, the diet adjusted down to 2400 or 400 below maintenance, still need to burn 500 on average. No problems, so far. That 2800 is to maintain size if in a coma.
So now im starting in a deficit.
That was total task over 12 weeks. Using gear to to minimize loosing muscle. But my calculations have me actually gaining muscle throughout this so far. My lbm has increased by 9lbs.
