Dude you are way overthinking this. Any gain from eating a maintenance will only be water and not fat as has been mentioned

Dude you are way overthinking this. Any gain from eating a maintenance will only be water and not fat as has been mentioned. One week doesn't constitute a plateau. You wanna take a break, take one. Can't hurt. It probably won't have much effect one way or another. As you can see from Lyle's article, he recommeds 14 days as the body does not fully reset for about a week and then should settle there for a little.

im eating TDEE minus 15% right now. i just hit a plateau, so i think its time for me to do a reset.

only worried because i bought new clothes and i want to wear them

A reset is more to repair a damaged metabolism than break through a plateau... Can you be more specific about your weight loss goal, what your TDEE is, what your exercise routine is, and how long you've been plateaued?

i eat 2100 calories
i work out for 30-45 minutes a day
i have been doing this for about 3 months
i have plateaued for a week, i have literally been the exact weight every day.
i down to my last 20 pounds

Is 1 week really a plateau? I wouldn't worry this much after 1 week of no loss. Day to day weight in the same week means nothing.
