If you're going to run a lot I would definitely suggest getting a proper running technique down. I personally am a heel striker and recently learned how bad it is on your joints.
Supplements help a lot too. I take just thrives pro biotic, magnesium by mag tech or pristine hydro's magnesium bicarbonate (stay away from magnesium citrate, stuff does more harm than good), and creatine by kion after workouts.
I've dabbled with a lot of supplements and those have shown to be the most beneficial. I used to take amino acids but when I got tested my levels were through the roof so I stopped.
I've been following Robb Beams for like a decade and he has some good stuff. He's definitely evolved and isn't stuck on a concrete "everything I say is it!" mentality.
Cut out the crap, eat real food, eat enough to fuel your body. If you eat that little not only will you burn fat, you'll burn off muscle too.
Ideal weight for me would be around 195-205. I’m proportionally built like 70% muscle with 30% fat? (Not body fat but like I look like a muscular fat kid basically lol) but I’m also 6’2 so I know cutting below 195 would make me look like a skeleton.

Limit yourself to like 1700-2100 with some regular cardio and exercise and you will get under 200 safely and steadily.
Just curious though, how are you measuring calories? Are you weighing food or just guessing?
Diet is extremely personal and a lot of factors play a role including allergies/intolerances and ethical issues. This is not a plug, and I haven't used it before but Inside Tracker offers blood panels that a lot of endurance athletes have been using to really dial in proper food choices.
If you're serious about training, some of the easiest things you can implement are forming good habits around hydration and sleep. Avoid processed foods/sodas. Eat fruits and veggies that are rich in color. Drink alcohol sparingly.
Consistency is your friend. Establish a routine that you can stick to. Drastic diet changes and jumping into a program that looks sexy because the pro's are doing similar things are quick ways to burnout. Build your volume/intensity over time.
Motocross is demanding. If you're riding once or twice a week, these WILL be your higher intensity days just by nature of the activity. It's great if you can get in the gym once or twice a week for sessions to build strength and help you avoid injury. These do not need to be HIIT sessions. If you have a bike, a few days a week is perfect, but these should really be at a "zone 2 intensity" to focus on building you aerobic fitness to allow you enough recovery to be able to put your harder efforts towards your focused activity: motocross.
I’m not as super focused on the calories I intake, it’s just when I do keto and how often I eat and what I eat the calorie intake I have is quite low. I don’t feel like I’m super tired or anything aside from the 3 days I had “keto sickness”. After that I felt really good. Despite my size my appetite is actually pretty small, if I do eat a full meal it’s usually only one per day other wise I start to feel bloated.
Every person is different and it’s important to just read how you feel, when my training picks up if I feel like I’m gassing out quicker than expected I’ll obviously add some more food to my day to help counter that feeling.
Im usually only eating something small for breakfast, I try to eat a full meal for lunch, and then I eat enough to feel full at night. Most of my size is from when I quit training as an amateur and quit riding for basically 2 years.
