What is a "big calorie deficit" relative to others?

For me, I’ve found 400-500 below my maintainence works best.

I agree with you here. I needed labels to bin the two (very general) categories of body composition types, so I chose those two.

Makes sense. I have had my RMR tested and I am dead average. I have never had success with small deficits because I am not disciplined enough to maintain -700 net cals per week or whatever.
