Knowing When to Stop Cutting

I've been cutting for a while and I'm getting closer to the body composition I wanted. Now I'm confused about when to stop the calorie deficit and return to maintenance calories. I don't want to lose more weight than necessary. How do you decide when your cutting phase is over?

Have a clear goal before starting your cut

you don't need to keep losing weight forever

Consider your strength and energy levels too

Once you're happy with your progress you can move towards maintenance

Increase calories gradually if that helps you manage the transition

Keep tracking your weight after the cut

Don't rush into another cutting phase immediately

Maintaining your results is just as important as losing fat
