1 cup is fine. Eat until you are full. Carb cycling isn't about counting cals, but about manipulating hormones. Yeah, I wouldn't go crazy with the milk. Look into HOOD - low carb milk. Good stuff.

You need to up the protein and healthy fats to compensate. I don't see many healthy fats in your diet so you will need to increase that on no carb days. But again, it isn't about cals. Don't count fiber in your carb count. Fiber can still be eaten and should be on all days.
Some people choose to add in extra shakes on these days to help, but that is up to you. Whole food is preferred of course, but shakes are better than not eating anything.

Yes, as many low GI/II carbs as you can consume. This ISNT'T a cheat day.
