Will one day at maintenance cals fight off starving?

[oxymoron]

Alright if I'm trying to drop my bf%, can I keep from going into starvation mode by cycling in one day at maintenance calories then return to the next 6 days at a 500 calorie deficit? Or should I bump it up to 500ish above maintenance.
Thanks.
Oh and here's some stats...
6'1", 200lbs, 15% bf, 4 days/wk 30-40min cardio, 5 days/wk lifting, goal is 11-12% bf.

If you want to cut bf have to be at a deficit so the body burns it. That being said I like to have a day over or a cheat day (meal usually) a week if is a meal maybe 2 whole week if not too bad and am very strict the rest of the time. I'd go by feel whether just to maintenance or over on that day

look up the law of thermogenics bro... you have to burn more calories in a day than you eat to lose weight... google it... now, you don't want to starve yourself throughout the day... you need to balance out about 8 small meals to keep your metabolism going... you can definitely cut the weight but you need to do it properly...
