So long as your still in an overall calorie deficit, your still going to be burning some body fat. Hopefully you can find a balance where your not getting grumpy then you could be a lot more consistent.
For me, a tipping point is around -500 calories. I can happily do 200 to 400 deficit, but -500 leaves me too hungry. Last week I had a few long runs and ate quite a lot but still ended up with two days of -550 and -680 back to back.... the next day was rubbish and ended up +312 and then -56 which was hard work to avoid the chocolate cupboard.
Venison sausages make for a very tasty Toad in the hole 😁

@user69121 you will be pleased to know I upped my carbs and dropped some fat in my macros :P
Mostly because I was getting grumpy.
I have had great success with low carb diets but when I did those I didn't count calories or also did weights/kettlebells during the week. Fat is a fine fuel, but it's slow and a mixed diet also doesn't give my body the chance to burn ketones only. So I guess keeping the carbs too low in a mixed diet means sometimes there are none left, the result is a very grumpy brain.
Tesco stocks venison stuff atm very lean and a great alternative to turkey etc. I can't eat turkey/chicken breast too often, blegh... :):)
