Powerlifting while cutting - need input

I weight 215lbs when i first started powerlifting. I still ate what i wanted but i wouldn't go overboard. Like for dinner i would eat off of a salad plate instead of a dinner plate and didnt go back for seconds. I plateaued at 180 and thats when i joined mfp. Now i weight 170 and i take in 1600 calories a day and i feel like i take in a sufficient amount of calories. Just do what feels good for you.
