    Question "Metabolic damage" after cutting weight.

    Before correcting me about the term "Metabolic Damage", I know it's all a proccess of adaptaions but I steel feel like it is damage and in this post I will share why. I am a person with a HUGE appetite and right now I need to lose 12 kgs (already lost 12 from 112 and went to 100, next goal is 88) and my TDEE is 3000~ calories, right now at 2500 I am cutting weight in a good manner, however what scares me is the fact that at some point 2500 calories won't be enough of a deficit to keep losing weight at a good rate and later would be my maintenance. I cannot imagine eating only that amount with the training I do. While I am cutting I am miraculously proggressing my training even though I am a late intermediate lifter.

    What are some good strategies to avoid having such drastic adaptations (damage for me) so I won't have to basically starve to death to reach my goal? Is there any way to Increase my maintenance calories after the cut without adding anymore exercise purely by dieting manipulation?

    I weigh 100kg and my height is 183cm right now. Fattest I have ever been was 116kg at 15 years old and 174cm height. Lately I added daily walking or running 2/7 days a week with a goal of burning 500 extra calories during this activity. Right now my my proggress feels good but it is due to daily walking which I am not a huge fan of (guess might have to like it more) and later on walking the same distance with the same intensity will burn even less...

    I know this board is not for bodybuilding/aesthetic purposes but here are some pictores of me that tell you I need to lose weight. Before you ask for my training, Bench: 130kg, Deadlift: 220kg, Squat 160KG, Press 95kg and I can do 10 chinups at this bodyweight.
