Diet was as above.

Workout:
Decline Bench Press [12x135] [10x205] [6x225] Felt I could at least get one more on the last set.

After workout did 21's on Decline with 135 and barbell curls with 75lbs.
Got light headed after first set of flyes but it went away shortly.

Fairly good mood throughout the day, no more irritable than usual. Very tired by 8pm, asleep by 9.

Never experienced any soreness after chest workout when I usually do when bulking. Is this a bad sign?

And on your diet remember you are macro manipulating which means as time goes on and cutting progress slows, lesson your carbs and increase protein to keep same calorie count. It's not really the calories it's the macros that fuel a cut.
