Your food choices during your refeeds will make a huge difference in preserving muscle. And looking at the numbers, 2500 cals during the week wouldnt be bad. It ends up being a little over 50% of maintenance levels, but it would only be for 3 1/2 days. So 75g carb, 400 pro (1.5g/lb), and 60g fat would get you to 2500 cals. You refeeds, if done by the book, would be 10k calories. Thats a lot of damn food. But you would still shed a ton of fat, keep your muscle and be all happy and stuff.
