I am eating a calorie surplus* and losing body fat in the process. Keto + IF means my body is fasted / burning fat N hours a day, and spends the other 24-N repairing and building new tissue. My body of course prefers to burn fat during the fasted period as I have no serum insulin, so there is no catabolism of muscle to provide energy. In other words, calorie counting alone is pretty much useless. Regarding my DIY, it's around 90 €/month for 2000 kcal with 90 g protein, 28 g fiber and all micronutrients covered. Of course, I'm from Spain, where EVOO is dirt cheap, and it accounts for all of my non-protein calories. *: Or, rather, not a deficit. Calorie deficit/surplus stops making sense once you take hormone regulation and fasted/fed state into account.
