Sick of Keto time for regular cutting diet

[jypoll]

I have been on keto a couple months,(with a couple weeks off due to vacation in the middle) and i am sooo sick of eating eggs cheese and sauage all day so im gonna try something different. I did have good success on keto, i went from 225-200lbs in just over two months and probably dropped well over 5% BF.
Stats:
21 years old
6'0" tall
200lbs

i am a powerlifter so im not so concerened about perfection of my diet as a bbuilder would

17-18bf% ( i think ... i really dont know, i had an assessment at the gym and stood on a scale with barefeet and it said 22.5bf% but that is bullshit no way that possible, im currently sporting an "almost" 6-pack..)

ive been losing 2lbs a week at 1800cals on keto, ive decided to start with about 2000cals and see where it goes.

250g protein 1000kcal
180g carbs 720kcal (120g on non-workout day)
45g fat 405kcal
total = 2125 kcal/day on training day 1885kcal on non-training

i havent set up an exact diet plan but this is a basic out line

breakfast 60g carbs (mostly complex, some sugar from banana)
-i will make oats, banana, eggwhite, and whey shake for breakfast, maybe some brown rice or quinoa because i will be pre-cooking for me pre.w.o. meal

1hr pre-workout 60g carbs (all complex)(mid day on nontraining day)
post-workout 60g carbs (30 waxy maize, 30 sugar)(not on non-training day)
(maybe a couple green fibrous veggies when im not eating carbs)

as for protein i will try to evenly distribute between 6-8 meals
i will try to make each meal different (chicken, beef, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, whey)(only lean meats with exception of salmon or can tuna and mayonaise...(light fat mayo or full may ????)

fats= these will fall where they fall... but never with carbs

thanks guys, any suggestions??

Have you looked into an "IF" Diet much? I was going to go CKD for when I start my cutting diet, but after reading about all the success that people are having on IF, I'll probably go that route. Maybe something you should look into if you haven't already.

[joshh]

this is just for me, but form a fat loss perspective, IF didn't work for me. i even tried a keto IF but that didn't work either. for me, keto in a 75/25 fat/protein split spaced out into 5-6 meals works best

[jypoll]

so for IF you just eat all your food in 6 hours to reduce the amount of food you eat.. and possibly put yourself in ketosis during your workouts even though you eat carbs>?

[joshh]

your supposed to still eat your normal daily calories within those 6 hours. And it takes days to go into ketosis

[jypoll]

what advantage is there to eating in 6 hours vs. 16?

I have decided not to go on an IF diet right now because of my daily schedule not condoning it, but here is m y finalized diet

9/0/0

total
49/195/252

2229 cals

ill probbably be eating some broccoli and carrots through the day as well
any reccomendations?

[joshh]

way too many carbs in my opinion if your going for a cut and have just come off keto

[jypoll]

i forgot to mention my 64g carbs postworkout is only on training day... even with all the carbs i am still atleast 500kcals below maintenance, which i estimate to be 2800. i guess i have 2.5x as many carbs a week as keto diet but i have increase my daily calories by 200-300. I have 10 months till my next comp and i need to drop 10-15lbs... i would like to drop 20-25 in the first 5 months then gain 5-10 back in the final 5 months before comp.
