Weekly vs daily calorie cycling?

I started doing experiments with the way I'm cutting this summer. On the way to getting really lean while preserving muscle mass I started doing weekly calorie cycles. One week I would eat 750 calories below maintenance per day, one week I would eat just how much I burn. Thus I believed that the off week from dieting helps fully repair my muscles. But that seems to be really boring because of the fact that I see myself progressing only every second week. So I was thinking instead of doing that to cycle my calories according to my training days. Like eating maintenance calories when working out and cutting by 750 when I don't. Does anyone have experience with this kind of cycling and which one of the methods should be more beneficial?

I inadvertently started doing this when I added more calories to my diet and I had great success. I wasn't eating gobs more and I upped it slowly, but the daily cycles really worked.
