Well... it would be all or nothing. The wiggle room you have is 30-40gr max. After that you will be out of ketosis. Carbs play no real role in energy in ketosis, its coming from fat stores/dietary fat/dietary protein and what little carbs you eat. But if you go over say 40gr, you may as well just eat a bunch, carb up, rehydrate yourself and do the event. Otherwise, there is no benefit to eating 40gr of carbs as opposed to 20gr to compete because that isn't the primary source of fuel for your body.

back to the vegan thing, i too would struggle. I love cooking too much to be able to do it. Ribs, burgers.. anything on the bbq really.. Just have to have it. I just try not to over do it with the red meats lately.
I couldn't do it either. First, I love meat. Second, I hate hippies. Lose/Lose for me
