Ok.
1. Easy, no problem here. I'm super flexible at eating.
2. Less training?
Right now I'm doing SS (with some added assistance work here and there) and adding in some light metcons and doing things like light swimming and running for active recovery on non-workout days.
Is that too much?
Let's see, and this is thinking as I'm typing, if I workout too much while at a deficit I won't be able to recover, thus losing strength. If I workout heavy weight, low volume I will retain strength while eating at a deficit. Do I have that right?
