Thread: Unloading and calories

I usually keep calories about the same when unloading. I definitely don't drop below maintenance at any point. When I unload I usually do cardio and some light workouts with weights too, so I feel like I need the calories anyway.

During an unloading phase your body is probably still using calories for recovery and growth from previous workouts.

I don't unload.

I don't cut calories.
