Prop/Winny Cut Cycle: Best way to keep gains/weight off during/after PCT

ad

Just wrapped up this cycle:
Prop@550mg/week 1-8
Winny@50mg/day 1-4
HCG@500iu/week 3-7

Age 25, 6'1", 230 lbs currently 10%bf. Started at 233 and dropped three pounds with a diet of about 2500-2800kcal/day on top of mild cardio sessions 3x/week. I didn't emphasize cardio too much as my caloric deficit should have emphasized weight loss without too much physical activity on my part. Probably dropped about 3bf percentage points. Quite happy with the results.

Macro percentages weren't tracked too well, but I aimed for around 200-230g protein a day. Fats were kept at about 20-30% of macro spread. Carbs made up the rest.

I'm going to introduce Clen starting tomorrow (20/40/60/80/100/120/140 til end of 14th day) as I will be starting PCT tomorrow (pinned my last prop shot on Friday). PCT will be Nolva at 40/30/20/20. There is WAY too much biases related to PCT construction and I don't get the NOLVA/CLOMID combo despite how much I read, so I will let my blood results let me know where I stand after this PCT protocol. I have always ran Clomid for every cycle (this is my 5th), and I've seen a bit more literature aiming for Nolva over Clomid; especially if you ran HCG whilst cycling.

Strength was good on this cycle as almost all my lifts went up with a cal deficit (thank you AAS :)). Instilled a progressive tension overload program. Worked all body parts out 2x/week or every 5th day.

My question is how should I tweak my diet to not get so frail after being on this cycle without putting on any weight? I wanna stay as lean as I am, but is this going to be difficult to achieve seeing my strength will be going down and need to keep calories at maintenance levels? Let me know if anyone has any opinions on this as this is my first cutting cycle. All my priors were either lean bulk or bulk.
