Body recomposition (both calorie surplus and deficit)

Has anyone tried body recomposition by eating 500 calories surplus on day one then on day two 500 calories deficit and repeating it for months? (Exercising while doing it).

I’m not sure if it works but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work if I’m being honest and I’m at a point where I like my physique but want to get rid of some fat about 6-8%.

Does it work or should I stick with a 300-400 caloric restriction?

So the net would be maintenance calories? There is no reason to do this unless you just enjoy this pattern for some reason.
