Calories On A Deload

[Simon90]

When using a deload in a gaining phase, Do you drop to maintenance calories? Or remain in a slight surplus?

would you still drink the intra shake aswell?

Cheers

You'll not gain anything by dropping calories
This is your recovery phase, you need food to recover

Id keep everything constant myself.
You're looking to gain not drop and 1 week deload but same calories won't lump fat on you.
I might just be more inclined to increase activity (steps).
