Question about calorie cycling diets

[dora_da_destroyer]

So i built myself a diet that provides .8g/protein per lb lean mass on my off days (about 1350 cals) and 1-1.2g protein/lb lean mass on workout days (about 1550-1630 cals). My workouts are pretty high intensity (hills, bike sprints, body weight exercises, weights, hiit/resistance circuits) at 6am...should I keep my higher cal/protein days on the days I workout or should I make it so I fuel this way the day before i workout since i need the energy first thing in the AM?

Mondays are off
T-Th on
Fri off
Sat on
Sun some sort of low impact recovery cardio (incline treadmill, or 3.5-7 mile walks)

so should T-Th & Sat be my bigger day or should M-W and Fri be the bigger day?

Why would you cycle protein? I don't see the benefit in that. If you are going to cycle I would manipulate carbs IMO:

Monday Higher carb, low as you can stand the rest of the week.

Not really trying to cycle protein, but it's the only thing I can remove to get my calories lower...I'm going for a big loss this month, that's my sole focus (much to the disappointment of my trainer). The loss comes from me not having a post workout shake...and depending on how hungry i feel, I may or may not drink my casein at night on rest days.

Carbs are pretty low - 1 slice sprouted whole grain bread and 1 rice cake on rest days, 1/2c oatmeal on workout days....2 servings of fruit on off days, 2-3 on workout days (post workout contains a banana).

Just wondering if it would be smarter to eat bigger the day before I workout since I workout in the AM or just eat the bigger calories on the actual workout day.

Based on that I would bigger on workout days to fuel recovery
