About a 2 years ago I did a complete 180 in my nutrition and broke the golden rule of the bodybuilding diet. Now my macro breakdown is roughly 60/35/5 (fat/protein/carbs) for 5 consecutive days, then 48 hours of 60/35/5 (carbs/protein/fat).
For the last 2 years I've grown more than in all the previous 6 years of training combined (35lbs of muscle in the first year alone, no gear). I easily keep BF around 10% when working (concrete/ manual labor) and maxing out around 15% in the winter (little physical exercise other than lifting) on between 6k and 8k calories a day (fat days). Calories on carb days can be slightly higher, but less than 10k.
I haven't cut using this diet but plan to in a few months by simply reducing daily calorie intake and adding swimming to my non lifting days. When people ask me for diet advise in the gym I tell them about my great results using this and they generally look at me like I'm some asshole giving them bullshit advice to watch them fail.
Results speak for themselves and I continue to grow while they stay the same. Sadly I do not have genetics that allow me to naturally sit around 6% BF so I assure you I am not a freak who can wash Pop-Tarts down with Guinness and not suffer the consequences. Carbs everyday, however, can get me real soft real fast. If you have a strong diet discipline but are having problems packing on the meat I strongly urge you to give this a try. Below is an example meal plan for fat days. If anyone out there follows a similar diet I would really like to discuss your meals as well, it's always good to get new ideas for meals.

6oz Heavy Whipping Cream
2.5 Scoops Protein
add water for desired texture

One flour tortilla
5 eggs
3oz Colby Jack cheese

6 Tbs of cream cheese
2.5 scoop protein mixed with water
