Calorie cycling and reverse dieting

toshie333

Hi
I am really looking for some advice/views.

I'm female, 27years, 5ft 5".
I had a baby in August and have dieted down from 167 lb to 132lb.
I have used Calorie cycling in hope to preserve as much of my metabolic capacity as possible however my average daily intake is about 1100 per day.
I usually have 2 non consecutive "higher" days a week of about 1700 cal but it means some days I'm under 1000 cal.
I do Hiit resistance 5-6 times a week.

I would like to reverse diet as I have this week started the insanity workout programme and am finding I just don't have the energy to do it 5-6 days a week on such minimal calories.

My first question is,
can reverse diet whilst using insanity as my exercise as I know I'm meant to taper down the steady state cardio but I believe this is max interval/resistance training? (I don't do any steady state.)

Can I Calorie cycle whilst reverse dieting? If I was to add say 40 cal to each day regardless if low or high day as long as my avg daily intake was up by 40 cal per day??

Any advise or guidance would be amazing.
Thank you in advance!
