Some people can handle more than others, and a lot of that is based on eating. If you're trying to lose, it'll be harder, but if you're maintaining and looking for fitness and/or body recomp, you really should be ok to just listen to your body.
I agree. I do NROL on T/Th, swimming and/or cycling M/W/F/S, with one full day off on the weekend. But I would never be able to keep up that level of activity in a serious deficit. I eat and have strong workouts.
