How to approach diet after conpetition

[belva]

Currently spacing between 2200 on high carb day and 1400 cal on no carb day. I don't want to blow up after competition. I'm thinking of going up to 2800 after the competition on 40%pro40%carb20%fats and gradually increase 300 calories every week up to 3500/4000 calories

Btw I'm 188 physique competition 100kg now 6%bf 3 weeks out

I don't have a contest till spring that being said I think you have the right idea of slowly increasing your calories. I was going to up my calories by 250 calories a week until I get to a comfortable weight.

I don't plan on going above 10 lbs above competition weight until next fall because I don't want to feel horrible during the cutting phase for every show next spring/summer.

On a side note, most individuals on this forum are recreational users.
