Does anyone else find they're getting sicker more often since being at a deficit? I've been trying to shake things up with periodic maintenance (sort of), and I hit my macros and micros pretty good... but goddammit, I've been sick for the last two days... and a few weeks ago I was sick for a week...and before then...
I know eating at a deficit lowers your immune system--is my immune system just going to be weaker until I up my calories?! I USED TO HAVE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF A GOD.
