I'm on week 3 of my cut, hit the burn out wall.... and have thrown in the towel on NROLFW for the past week ,but eating more sweets (TOM) so, is that a diet break? Eating TDEE & not lifting? I've lost nothing, gained 10lbs on reset & feeling down. But I do feel like, I took a diet vacation. Tomorrow I'm sure I'll hit it hard,And start logging again. I'm starting a new job in 3wks, and going to have to buy a new wardrobe. Sooooo tempted to eat 500 cals below my bodybugg TDEE everyday to avoid shopping for pants! HELP !!!!

    A diet break is eating at TDEE for one week and is done every 4-6 weeks of cut.

    You can combine it with taking a break of exercising as well. But that is up to you

    500 calories below your bodybugg TDEE doesn't sound too low. What is your TDEE from your bodybugg? I would use the bodybugg numbers over scooby or other online calculators that are estimating your activity level.
