Raising calories slightly while still in deficit

[mattweisel]

I'm 6 feet tall and 170.8lbs (small build) still decent size. I'm roughly around 8% body fat (just an estimate)

I'm currently running the sarms 1 cutting stack and the evolutionary diet in the metabolic shift phase. I started off with very low calories hopping off a small trial of DNP (I know dnp isn't to be discussed on the forums I just want to give correct background information) so I wouldn't rebound (roughly 20% deficit) i lost a few lbs and i'm wondering if i were to go up to a 10% deficit instead of a 20% would my body react weirdly and has it adapted to the 20%?

My current macro split is

21g carbs 5%
128g protein 30%
123 fats 65%

looking to bump it up to

23g carbs 5%
183 protein 30%
133g fats 65%

Usually I would do cardio to make up the difference but i currently have a severe case of psoriatic arthritis that flares up in my feet maybe once a week (inability to walk) I still weight train for about an hour to an hour and a half 4-5 times a week.

Huge fan of the evolutionary diet if anyones interested in it, i highly reccomend it.

Any insight would be awesome, thank you!

At your new target diet you are getting pretty close to your maintenance. If you were consistently losing weight on your current diet you should still lose but I expect it will be very slowly. Especially since you are already sub 10%.
