    It depends on your situation.. how many calories are you eating now? For me, I can't because I eat 20% less than TDEE daily. A cheat day can eliminate my whole deficit.

    I eat generally 1200 to 1600 a day and burn off about 700 daily at the gym

    Think about that logically.. you eat 1200 to 1600 and burn off 700 (even though that seems a bit high).. Essentially you eat 500-900 calories.
