Is it advisable for a deload week (I'm planning on zero lifting, cardio limited to walking, biking, and yoga) to coincide with the end of my cut cycle (so I plan on eating at TDEE instead of 15% under as I've been doing for the last 8 weeks)? Or should I do one than the other?

Thanks!

    Off the top of my head I can't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to deload at the same time as you bring calories to maintenance. Consider that your expenditure may decrease during the deload so you might want to account for that.

    ^^agreed. No reason not to.
