I'm wanting to try carb cycling but I'm not sure if I've gotten my numbers right when it comes to the amounts.... Can someone give me some insight please?
6 Meals A Day
High Carb Days
29 grams protein per meal
As many good carbs as I want (within reason) eaten 4 out of the 6 meals
Low Carb Days
29 grams protein per meal
58 grams carbs eaten during 3 out of the 6 meals
No Carb Days
29 grams protein per meal
No carbs except 1 cup of green veggies eaten during 3 out the 6 meals
**Fats are mainly low and are mainly consumed via the protein
Does that seem right for a female who is 5'9" 175 lbs and 16% bodyfat?

For the past 2 years I've been following competition diets that I've paid for via a well-known figure coach. I'm used to his style of diets but I want a change. I'm not looking to compete anymore. I just want to lose 10-15 lbs and keep it off.
I normally eat every 2-3 hours a day, so 6 meals a day is my norm.
I measure everything out that I eat so that's why I'm so precise with my numbers.
Honestly, I didn't really calculate fat consumption, but I know I will include fats such as peanut butter into some of my meals.
I just don't want to do anything wrong that will cause me to gain weight.

^ I'm not really sure of your question, then.
Your meal timing and macronutrient partitioning will have functionally zero impact on body composition.
Your total caloric intake will have a significant impact on bodyweight and body composition.
When it comes to macronutrients, assuming you'll remain engaged in resistance training, you should aim for at least 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass as well as at least 0.4 to 0.5 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight. Unless you're on a specialized diet such as keto, the remaining calories can come from any combination of macronutrients.

^^^^^^^^^
You know what your maintenance calories are need and I am sure you know what it takes to gain / lose weight when your on and off for comps. So just do the same thing you are doing Calories wise and make sure you get your Protein / Fat needed like Pug said and fill the other area's with w/e you would like.
You might hold some water weight at 1st if you had been on a very low carb diet but things will even out.十

How quickly I forget...... That this is meaningless?

4 oz chicken, 1 cup broccoli, 1/3 cup brown rice
4 oz turkey, 1 cup broccoli
6 egg whites, 1 cup zucchini, 2 Tbsp salsa
25 g casein protein 1 Tbsp peanut butter
What would you do to change/fix it?
