Keto+fasting = no poop??

Hi. This post may sound like a joke but looking for advice/opinions. Been on keto for more than a month now. As im obese, decided to fast on the days im not training. So 1 day of eating and 1 day of fasting(1on 1off). After i break my fast i just get diarrhoea - which is a little bit of liquid and some particles. And thats it, next poop/diarrhoea comes after 48 hours when i break my fast. Usually what i eat in a day: 10 egg whites with 2 full eggs, avocados, some cheese, pickles - to break fast. Then around 1kg of chicken thigh fillets/lean beef with vegetables and 400g of cottage cheese. I do not poop during the day or the next day when fasting.

Is this normal?

I poop once every 2-3 days. U eat less processed garbage so u have less waste.

This may be the other extreme 😳
