Best way to rebound from extreme caloric deficits?
Post Body

Hey all, first post on this subreddit!

Anyway, some context: 22M, started cutting 11 weeks ago from 225lb (approx. 21-24�) to last week at about 205lb. I did a fairly aggressive deficit, -750 calories @ 215g protein. I saw pretty good progress over the cut, keeping most of my size; I gained strength in accessories, lost about ~10-15% in compounds which I'm okay with.

I'm a senior in college and this week is finals week. Unfortunately, I am extremely behind in multiple classes, so this week is very important to me being able to successfully graduate. Since Saturday, I've been cramming/studying for most hours of the day (cycles of 55 minute studying 5 minute break for the entire day), which of course has been a huge strain on my diet/exercise. I haven't worked out since last week. Since Saturday I've averaged about 3-4hrs sleep daily, and my diet has only consisted of morning adderall, black coffee, water, and maybe one meal if I have time/appetite (i try to be protein rich, healthy food at least). I've lost about 4lb of water weight since Saturday and currently hover at around 201lb, feeling and looking very flat. I of course know is really bad for my body and not sustainable at all, but gotta do what you gotta do to graduate I guess.

My last deadlines and finals are this Friday. I want to transition out of this extreme deficit and hopefully restart my cut (before finals/and now, not as lean as I'd like to be). Scientifically, what would the best way to do? I assume I probably am on the path/already crashed my metabolism this week, although I don't know if one week is enough for long term effects. Ideally I'd like to get back on track finals derailing things too hard. Should I refeed? Reverse diet back to maintenance? Thanks!
