Personally I didn't really count calories. Nor really focus on macros or much of anything. My general premise for eating was eating clean light and often. I stayed away from sugars and bread. Pasta was kinda my cheat meal once a week. I had limited choices on food being deployed where I was so I just crammed the chicken veggies and water. But if I had to guess my BMR at that time was around 2400 cals. And I was probably eating on avg 1800-2100. Not a serious deficit.
As far as sides go.. I really had none from that cycle. Not even acne. And I was in one hell of a filthy place. Working really hard and no shower for days sometimes. All I know is I felt awesome on cycle. Huge strength gains. And a decent LM growth considering my goals were to lose fat. But I cycle too soon. I was in less than ideal shape at the time. And my results could have been much better if I had cut to under 15% bf natty!
