I'm getting 2,500 calories during the week but on my 12-hr carb-up when I stick to 2,500 calories since most of those are carbs, the amount of protein I get in is def. below 1g/lb bw. I get like ~100g and I weigh 217lb, and my macros are 30-40/10-15/45-60. Is it ok to have such a low amount of protein for one day during the carb-up?

In his first post he says he keeps the cals the same, that's why he's low on protein during his carb up.
The protein needs to remain consistent whether it's a keto day or a carb up day.
Can't really tell if 2500 calories during is too much because we don't know how much exercise there is ... weighing 217 2500 calories could be too high for a cut. Don't know age or height to put it into a maintenance calculator ...
OP what are your maintenance calories ... you figured that already and the 2500 is 500 or so under that right?When you don't know what you're talking about just stop talking.
You’ll never be old and wise if you weren’t young and crazy.

6'3" 19 y/o I bulked up to 232lbs taking in 4-6k calories for ~2 months. I've been lifting for years and I workout intensely. Here's some pics I took 2 weeks ago: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=125544903 . I can dead at least 450, squat at least 400.
I started the ketogenic (anabolic diet) three weeks ago. First week I took around ~4k calories everyday. Second week I took in ~3k calories. Last week I took in 2.5k~ calories and again this week I'm taking in ~2.5k calories.
Starting - 232
First week - 225
Second - 219
Third - 217
Fourth (this week) -
I think I can lose an additional 2lbs staying with a 2.5k intake...

True, i think that i eat around 1500 to 2000 on some days. My breakfast is 3 eggs, my lunch is about 9 oz of baked chicken with a small serving of green vegetables, and my dinner at night is a whey protein pancake of 300 calories plus 400 calories of cheese. So thats about 250 calories of breakfast, 600 calories for lunch, and 700 calories for dinner. So thats about 1600 calories. (Some days i might increase it to 2000 calories because of extreme hunger).
