You seem to have some misunderstanding about keto and low carb diets.
You might be interested in listening to this...
http://www.superhumanradio.com/rss/2...R_Show_227.mp3
Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale is the guest on this episode and explains a lot about low carb diets. He goes into great detail about the whole "ketosis" thing. It's an interesting listen...
Overall, I agree with you. Keto IS NOT A MAGIC diet. I also agree with Alan's quote in your signature as well. Calorie deficits trump all in terms of dieting.
I do believe that macro's do matter though. I'm a big believer that the OPTIMAL macro numbers for one person may be slightly or even vastly different for another person. I think this goes for bulking as well as cutting.
Really? NEVER?
These sound like absolutes. While I agree this is a good place to start, you may need to adjust if it isn't working. I've dipped more than 500 cals below maintenance and I'm pretty sure I kept most of my musclez...

Why would macros matter?
Your macro ratio might change over time if you drop carbs/fat and keep protein constant.
Besides, macro ratios tell you nothing
What if I told you I ate a diet that was 100% protein calories? You'd think that was way too much protein. Then you'd laugh when I said all I had was a protein shake with 23 grams of protein for the entire day. 100/0/0 is the macro breakdown, yet the macro told you nothing about the AMOUNT.
What matters is amounts based on bodyweight or lean mass weight, not stupid macros. A 40/30/30 diet might look balanced and healthy until I told you it was 400000000 calories.
As far as Di Pasquale goes, I wouldn't put too much stock in what he says considering he thinks that the Anabolic Diet is actually good for putting on size.The middle of the road, is tryin to find me

I usually workout mid day, and i have been eating like around 150 carbs my first 3 meals of day, then i go work out, and the last 3 meals i do alot more protein. Should i spread my stuff out more evenly through the day? My question is does it matter when you eat your protein and carbs or it is just what it equals at the end of the day that really matters?

1) Re read my post. I said Macro's still matter. I never said macro ratio's matter. There's a big difference. Therefore the explanation you gave me (assuming I was an idiot) is useless.
2) You didn't listen to that at all. If you had, you would have learned some more about low carb diets. He brings up a lot of interesting things, whether you like low carb diets or not. You also might have realized that you were misguided in your statement about eating less than 100g of carbs a day.
3) Your post reeks of arrogance and ignorance.

I think what dude was trying to say about the 500 deficit is that if you drop below 500 on a consistant basis your body will use muscle for food. A 500 def for several weeks would most certainly make someone lose more muscle than fat.
there are several ranges of ideas that use negative def and work properly.

Probably because one lb. of fat=3500 calories and 3500/7=500.
So to lose fat maximally without sacrificing lean mass, it's good to go by the 1 lb. of fat loss per week rule. Not to mention that cardio and weights burn additional calories, anyway, so you might come out between 1-1.5 lb. a week.The middle of the road, is tryin to find me

Question about short cuts
I see all of you guys talking about how shortcuts and quick fixes are just bad news and obviously the best choice is just a lifestyle change, but what about something like the velocity diet? Where you sort of crash diet for 28 days, lose a lot of body fat, and then at the end you can get into a normal, healthy eating habit of solid food. I mean is that a bad plan?
