The nice thing about combining keto/low carb and IF is that an occasional day off the diet isn't a killer, because you can just fast a bit longer the next day (or do a 36 hour fast) to get right back to burning fat. Of course, you don't want to get into a binge/fast cycle, but it's a nice tool to have in your pocket if, for example, your a-hole dad makes you eat pizza once a week.

With low carbs like that how on earth do people get the required amount of calories in a day I struggle to hit 2000 every day to the point where I have to throw in a cookie or 2 and my macronutrients are usually around 200g carbs 60 ish to 90ish grams fat and 130 or higher protien
