diet during rest weeks

[Tank23]

I have just finished my first cycle of HST. I will be doing Strategic Deconditioning for the next 2 weeks. I decided to start cutting up for the summer starting from tomorrow, but then I realized that being in a caloric deficit, and not training will most likely result in muscle loss. So....what should I be doing diet-wise during these 2 weeks of no training?
Should I just eat at maintenance, with a high protein intake?

Also, I have just bought an ECA stack. If I use the ECA stack during the next 2 weeks of eating at mainenance, is it posible to lose fat?

use the 2 weeks as a rest peroid.

you may keep more muscle mass for those 2 weeks by not trianing as trianing can be catabolic.

yeh i am using the 2 weeks as a rest period...that's what the strategic deconditioning is.

The question I was asking was actually: how should i be eating during the 2 week rest period? i.e: at maintenance, or is it safe to be in a caloric deficit while not training and still not lose muscle?

make sure you get enough protein, id eat the same except exclude your post workout meal

Ok, I'll eat at maintenance, with high protein, and lower carbs.
