he didnt mean stop eating completely. most people think if you lift heavy youll bulk up. youll tone up real nice but unless your eating a surplus of protein then you arent going to gain size/bulk/weight. stick to your 5-6 small balanced nutrient rich meals a day and you shouldn't gain size unless your eating a butt load of protein in every meal. based on your height, weight, and such you should be able to calculate your own personal kcal per day needed and i would probably up the carbs with the last meal you eat before you workout so you have a little extra energy for your lifts and such.

You wonīt gain weight if your overall calories are equal to or less than what burn each day. So you will only gain weight from powerlifting if you eat a surplus of cals, regardless if the calories are from protein, carbs or fats,
