Stomach Virus while cutting, should I stick to my cut

[NorCalAnt]

So I am recently on a cut, dropped from 214 to 200, not a crazy amount of fat loss. The problem is I recently got a stomach virus called mesenteric adenitis, it is really painful and I haven't been able to eat much, i lost ten pounds and some size. Arms are down a half inch and I havent been able to lift, I believe a good amount of this weight is muscle. What I am asking is if I should stick to my cut and lose the fat or should I get the muscle back I already had or will i get some of that back while cutting since I haven't lifted for over a week. Any ideas?

You lost 9 pounds of water mate, and probably 1 pound of fat. Muscle loss doesn't happen like that, not in a week.

The problem is I was already cutting and had already lost water weight. Do I really have that much water weight to lose, from 214-190 and I only look slightly leaner?

Up to 14kg

Stop weighing yourself.

You want to weigh your "dry" weight

First thing in the morning after empting your bladder and colon

then do a weigh do that everyday and take the weekly average

you can lose 3-6lb in a week but mostly you will be losing water weight but not so if you're putting back in 8-10 glasses a day

If your ill you should give your body energy to fight the infection, CARBS CARBS CARBS FATS AND PROTEIN

Rest.

when you have a stomach virus just eat different foods. I just got over a bug and took bcaa's with cherry juice, chicken noodle and if I did eat at first my stomach didnt like it, then it got better

If you're not sick anymore, I don't see why you shouldn't. Your waterweight will sort itself out unless you water-restrict yourself.
