Ive been told that i pretty much wont ever be doing too much cardio on a cut. However here is what is going on in my head.
I eat 2500. Do 1000 kcal of cardio. I now have 1500kcal for daily functions.
Eating 1500kcal per day would be bad for extended periods. Why is this different?

My plan for this cut is to keep calories around maintenance and do more cardio but would like to check if i am grasping this.

I understand you recieve the benefits of micronutrients but why not eat 500kcal below tdee then also do a boat load of cardio?
