Higher calories (Keto) vs. higher carb to get through the day?

I have been on the Keto diet for 3 months now. I had Refeeds, higher carb intake/calories at maintenance/very low fat, once a week. Merely, for sanity and so my metabolism would not slow.
Now, I have higher carb intake every 10 days. I have 1 incredibly long day once a week and designated my Refeeds for that day to get me through it. I have tried just doing Keto on that day, but I tend to go over my allotted calories. My question is:
Should I make sure I stay extremely low carb and add calories (250 below maintenance rather than 500) or should I increase my carbs from 30 grams to 50-70 grams (both still Keto)?
Is it better to stay lower carbs for weight loss if your body responds well to Ketosis?
Thanks in advance

Check out the low carber group
Calories are calories
I eat lower carb but count calories. Fibrous veggies are the key to feeling full for me

It's really a matter of what you want to do. If you want to do keto, do that, for sure! But if you want to eat carbs, you can do that and lose weight that way, too.0
