I'm just about finished with my first cycle. Do I keep my diet the same during SD? Do I intake the same amount of protein, carbs, calories, etc as I did during my cycle?

You want to continue to get 1g of protein per lb. of body weight.

As for the rest, I'm not sure. I'd think that you would want to consume maintenance level calories, since you don't need the excess calories for building muscle. However, since you're not working out, your maintenance level is much lower than it is during your HST cycle.

I too am in my SD, and I have opted to eat less than maintenance calories. I'm hoping that I can lose some fat while maintaining muscle. Basically, I'm trying to do a cutting SD instead of a cutting cycle. I don't know if this is a good idea or not. If I start to lose muscle, I'll increase the calories. Besides, I don't think that it would be too difficult to regain any lost muscle. So, is it OK to cut during SD?
 
thanks for the input. I'll probably cut back on my carbs while maintaining the protein. i gained 8 lbs during my first cycle.
 
i don't know if this applies to you, but i personally have much difficulty getting enough calories when i'm bulking. i have never intentionally had a "cutting" phase.

so, i keep my calories as high as possible during SD. i figure a bit of fat i could add will just keep me growing on days i don't get enough calories during the cycle
