Critique on My Diet? New Member Looking for Help

Hello everyone, after being a member on bb for years, I’ve decided to switch over to a forum where I am hoping to get more intelligent answers and less “bro science” suggestions. A bit of background on myself, I am 22 years old, 5’10, 170lbs and have around a 10% body fat. I have been training for several years but only recently have I started to get more serious in all aspects on training.

In consideration with my diet I am about to post, I am completely lactose intolerant. Whey isolates, isopure, whatever you name it, if it has dairy/lactose it really bothers me. I also have IBS so things like bacon, any pork product and most beef will also set my digestion off. That being said I have constructed a carb cycling diet and below have my high and low carb days. Right now since I’m just starting I have started with one day high, two days low and repeat. Any comments or changes you guys have in thought are encouraged since this is my first diet I’ve written up! Anyways, here we go…

What are you trying to accomplish? 2,300 cals seems kinda low even for a 170 pounder at 10%. What’s that about 45% of cals from protein? Seems kinda high.

What do I know though, I’ll be interested to see what others have to say.

Im not competing or anything of the sorts, I periodically try to cut down every so often. My goal at the moment is to increase endurance both muscular and cardiovascular. I figured with high levels of cardio and muscular endurance training it would be wise to keep protein levels higher than they would normally be while cycling my carbs. I figured I would try this diet during this phase of training to see what results would come of carb cycling and increased cardio and HIIT training.
